Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins
Robinson allegedly failed to comply with officers who ‘became concerned’ by his behaviour at Channel Tunnel Tommy Robinson has claimed Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as he went on trial for refusing to comply with a request made by counter terrorism police as he tried to leave Britain last year. The far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, refused to give police the pin for his phone because it had “journalistic material on it” after they stopped him at the Channel Tunnel on 28 July 2024, a court heard.

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

Private Education isn't about education, it's about access to networks of privilege.
The only level playing field in education is HE and state school students outperform their privately educated peers at university.

Private school can feel like the only option when the state system isn’t meeting your child’s needs, but the financial burden goes far beyond school fees ⬇️
School fees were a shock, then came VAT, uniforms, trips …

Trump’s public instructions to AG Pam Bondi weren't subtle: He named three public figures he's long detested and urged the DOJ to prosecute them immediately.

Now, less than three weeks later, two of them are under indictment: former FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James.
How Trump’s message to ‘Pam’ got exactly the results he wanted
Donald Trump has long called for imprisoning his opponents. For the first time, he has a Justice Department willing to do his bidding.

Christian Nationalists from the so-called 'King's Army' took to the streets of London's Soho to intimidate LGBT+ people. A clear sign of growing Christian Nationalist extremism in the United Kingdom.
Open-mouthed men and women in paramilitary style tracksuits stand in military foundation on Old Compton Street. They wear crucifixes and the label KING's ARMY. Overlaid is Humanists UK's headline: 'Christian Nationalist mob "King's Army" targets Soho, London's gay district'

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
