Nigel Farage faces fresh tax questions as he changes his story over luxury home - The Mirror

Apparently changed his story twice. And yes, he saved himself and his partner £40,000 in stamp duty!

The point of the Clacton house was to enable Farage to say he lived in his constituency. Why on earth would his lady friend (who is French) buy a house in Clacton for herself? It’s absurd. The house was obviously for Farage. He’s made quite a big error here.
Last November Mr Farage said he had "just exchanged contracts on a house that I'll be living in there".

Now Farage says he has no financial stake in Clacton home..

Professor Stephen Cushion of Cardiff University has completed a study on the share of Reform Ltd in news programmes. He's confirmed what we already knew. Farage gets too much airtime! Why? He's an snake!

Could there be a lesson for the @LibDems here too?
We’ve been making digital content since 2013 and we can report that DEMS have NEVER embraced digital. They love their mailers though.

It’s not 1986 folks.

“Republicans are running circles around Democrats for how to connect to the culture today.”

Sobering article:

Dems concede Republicans ‘running circles’ around them online as Trump remakes Washington
The Democratic response to Trump, one Texas lawmaker said, is “too slow and too tepid and not meeting the moment.”

Print this out and frame it.

If Labour lose in 2029, it will be because of what they decided to do and not do. You won't be able to blame it on the media, or on any other external factor.

And an unforgivable 2029 loss that lets the Far Right in will end Labour *forever* as a party of government.

Our weekend sales are… substantially lower than last year, and I know we’re not the only indie bookstore that’s struggling this year.

Find your local indie and buy something small if you can, 2025 is going to be /a year/ for many of us.

“Privatisation has failed because there is no market in water. It should be seen as a public good, not something for somebody to make a profit from.”

Well said Chrissie, couldn’t agree more.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts.
This is speaking truth to actual power…

We have to now acknowledge the truth. America is no longer a reliable security partner. Europe needs to take responsibility for its own defence. And Britain needs to be part of it inews.co.uk/opinion/brit...
Britain would now be leader of the free world... if it wasn't for Brexit
America can no longer be relied on for Europe's defence, the truth is we are alone

Between Brexit, Russia, China and now America we are now more isolated politically, economically and socially than at any other time in my life.
We must redefine Brexit, join SM, CU or indeed work towards full membership.
Anything else is simply as mad as voting in Trump.

Starmer is right when he says ‘Britain is a great nation’, the people are.
Unfortunately our governments and majority of MSM are decidedly not ‘great. Hence austerity, Brexit and the mess we find ourselves in.
