My car is one of the less-known models to be in the guilty group.
When the scandal broke, my garage offered to correct the fault, free.
But it’s a Renault and I live in France

The UK Media is very interesting, Angela Rayner who tried to avoid tax was on the TV and in Media every day of the week.

But Reform UK's ex-Welsh Leader pleads guilty to Bribery Charges.

And we need to forget about it instantly.

Can't be having bad PR for Reform.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

I do wonder how the Jewish community in the US will react to this. That would carry more weight with the Trump administration than how Muslims take it

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

Has Farage done any constituency work in Clacton? In his MP acceptance speech he said he'd get inward investment for Clacton? Is he funding it from his 12 jobs? How's that inward investment going?

I hope Australians realise that with Trump calling "antifa" a "terrorist organisation" he is effectively calling our ANZACs terrorists.

The terrorists who landed at Gallipoli helped liberate France & Germany in WWII and went to Iraq & Afghanistan for the Yanks are terrorists now, says Trump.

Bombastic and theatrical, maybe, but imposing.
I wonder if Fartage knows the fable about the frog that tried to make itself as big as an ox?

As revealed by Channel 4 News’ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs — £408,000 in June and £316,000 in September.

The government says it’s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.
