He's not escaping UK tax, he is avoiding paying his fair share of UK tax. He made his fortune from the UK & is not prepared to help fund the society that helped him make his fortune. It's shameful behaviour.

Every developed country in the world has an "exit tax" - you leave with unrealised capital gains, and you're taxed on them.

Except the UK and Italy:

Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill"

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

The Reform UK slogan of 'Family, Community, Country' is very similar to the French Vichy regime's slogan 'Work, Family, Country'

The Vichy regime collaborated in many of the worst crimes of Nazi Germany, including deporting Jews to the death camps.

Farage is no fool. He will know this similarity.

Farage has given up the pretence that he barely knew Nathan Gill. He can't do otherwise, given the flood of evidence to the contrary.

Here is Gill saying he's just come from having lunch with Farage on the day that Farage resigned as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Encouraging tactical voting is hard work.
Much better to have a democratic and proportional voting system.
A majority of Labour members and MPs support PR. It's Starmer and the PLP who have their heads in the sand and think FPTP benefits Labour. Party before country - and they're wrong 🤬

Deceptively negative headline.
This isn't just about coke refills, but a whole raft of measures aimed at reducing childhood obesity and, therefore, quality of life. This is a good thing.
But maybe you'd rather the government did nothing to improve the lives of the next generation .......

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

Blair is driving this obsession that Starmer's government has with AI. The AI companies donate to his institute TBI.

None of this is really about what is best for the country, but what enriches those in power.
AI will bring societal changes that the government has not planned for.

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia…
But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable….

As usual, these criminals know exactly where to stash the money they stole so that it is out of the reach of legal rulings.
We know that Mone and Barrowman stole this money (via PPE Medpro) from UK taxpayers and that it is now in offshore trusts for their children 🤬🤬🤬

Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro?

The high court told the company linked to Michelle Mone to pay up over the supply of defective gowns, but there appears no clear route to reclaim the funds

A fascist tapeworm & faux patriot who “loves giving interviews. But ask him about his connections to Russia & the consequences of #Brexit, he'll put a stop to the conversation.”
“Brexit was the best thing to happen for Russia...”

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
