Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

Christopher Harborne has cemented Reform’s status as a mo... New political donation rules won’t stop him giving as much as he likes

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

I apologise to anyone at Banbury station hoping to see an out of shape old man running for a train this morning. Arrived with 10 minutes to spare.

N'oubliez jamais que si le #Brexit a eu lieu, c'est parce que ces journaux ont vendu des milliers de mensonges contre l' #UE et l' #immigration.

Soham murderer taken off life support and close to death, BBC understands The convicted murderer has been in hospital since late February after being hit on the head in prison.

I shan't weep for Huntley. He presumably raped and certainly murdered two pre-pubescent girls. I might point out, however, that a great many rich and powerful Americans and others are accused of doing the same, and are unlikely ever to come to court: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer - eerily prophetic dark side of the Flying Circus Cleese/Chapman/Frost bleak satire - which makes it sound jollier than it is - starring Peter Cook as an adman turned politician who subdues the populace with endless referenda.

I don’t understand why we’ve never had a national day of recognition for all those who’ve died with Covid and gratitude for all those essential workers many have conveniently forgotten we desperately relied on.

Absolutely HORRIFIED at BBCTV continuity announcers (forced to advertise other wares) calling #WomansHour β€œWomen’s Hour”. WTF is wrong with you?

Nigel Farage said today, I’m not interested in public opinion. Just think about that for a while.

Baker Street gives me an excuse to say I once worked with Bob Holness. And he did a canteen run. And I got to say β€˜I’ll have a tea please, Bob.’ #TOTP

Heating oil prices have more than doubled in the UK since war broke out: that’s 4.5m people living off gas grid, no they haven’t all got Agas, and in places like Cumbria and Scottish islands that’s a lot of anxious pensioners. (Difference with post-Ukraine is oil as well as gas spiking this time)

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another Β£3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...

Possibly because of American keyboards they thave included "pound" as something # can mean.

I think we should retaliate & use 🀑instead of $
