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.

Prediction; Trump will intensify attacks against Venezuela. Trump lost, this will be how he perceives a win.

Wonderful.

Trump had the power, influence and tools at his disposal to curb the destruction of the Palestinians. Like most of the West, he chose to let the genocide continue and never forget tens of thousands of children that have been knowingly and brutally murdered by the IDF. Too little, too late.

Slap a 20% asset tax on property or land valued in excess of say, 10M. I want to target people like Dyson, who supported Brexit, then set up overseas and had the audacity to use loopholes to dodge Inheritance tax.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Listening to Zack Polanski of the Green Party gives me a glimmer of hope.....just a glimmer because if they do build momentum,.that effing monster,.Murdoch, will release the hounds and try trash his reputation.

"An independent group of experts appointed by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) decided provisionally to let the (water) companies collectively charge customers an extra £556m over the next five years, it said on Thursday. That was only 21% of the £2.7bn that the firms had requested"

Now do the same with Farage. Ask him what his links are to Russia and keep throwing fact bombs, such as working for RT news for years, the sources of income, his connections via offshoring set ups.

The damage BBC politics has inflicted on itself by lacking impartially will take a long time to repair for me. Good to see some external public pressure having an effect.

South of the border, I see the rag in the ward I work in. Discrimination comes in many forms, so I'll give an honest observation: 90%+ who read The Daily Mail fit the exact stereotype demographic. One of those stereotypes is racism that has been witnessed being aimed at immigrant healthcare staff.

Michelle Mone still believes she's the victim. No apology, just a Times article with her stating they are scapegoats.
Any talk of jail or community service yet?

I bet this wasn't one of the many difficult decisions politicians have had to make. Private healthcare users aren't vulnerable enough to beat while they're down.

Benjamin Netanyahu is an absolute piece of shit bully. Why the posturing? He's committed genocide, flattened the Palestinian state and bombed other countries without consequence.

Why does Rupert Murdoch get a seat at a Royal Banquet.? Why is the UK taxpayer funding a banquet to entertain and feed this monster whose publications have harmed whole populations?

The sources of dirty money are intertwined. Starmer pushing to uncover the blatantly obvious funding from Russia, may find a link to Murdoch and then back to Starmer.

Ed Davey speaks sense. When X dismissed staff whose role was to remove harmful content from children, motive has to be challenged.

Wow, first Banksy's art and now this which is also creative genius!
Great that the images are being projected on our TV screens during peak viewing though.

The message is out, mission accomplished.

Well done.

Types of Reform voters, the poorly educated (partly due to government failures) and as you go up the hierarchy, those that have sold out this country.
...and I'm sad to say, older, white, often comfortable people.
