Remember how Reform promised cuts in Council Tax if elected at the local elections last year? Well, it seems that none of the councils that they now run can keep to a promise

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later.
He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs.
His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Farage has declared £9,663 in total payments from X, Tice has earned £5,770, and Lee Anderson £3,871. They are the only MPs who have declared payments from the social media website apart from Rupert Lowe (ex Reform) who has earned £40,000 from posting on X since his election last year.

Let’s talk about something. The fact that the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was dragged by a moving vehicle in a prior incident is not a defense, it actually makes the situation much worse for him.

Very disappointing news report from BBC World Service just now. Full quote from Trump spokeswoman on the shooting, yet no mention of the video that contradicts it. Just a quote from AOC which makes her sound unjustifiably contrary without the context.
I thought BBCWS was better than that.
