@TiceRichard That's a lot of words to say the story was correct. Where's your apology?

Tice, who said Angela Rayner would resign if she had "any moral decency", did not respond to our latest inquiries about his tax affairs or even acknowledge receipt. Nor did his lawyer or Nigel Farage's team. However, he has now posted a statement saying of his wider affairs: "Naturally I am always happy to put things right and if numbers need rechecking, of course I will pay what is owed - be that more or less." Where does that leave us? - Story #1: Tice avoided £600k in corporation tax by classifying his company as a real estate investment trust in unusual circumstances and benefitting from a loophole meaning he did not have to meet technical rules that otherwise applied. Tice accepts this, and said everyone should seek to avoid as much tax as legally possible. - Story #2: Tice broke the law by failing to pay at least £92k - or, per further analysis by @DanNeidle, £120k - in withholding tax before paying incorrectly large dividends to himself and his off-shore trust in Jersey. He says the dividends he personally received meant he ultimately paid more income tax, meaning HMRC received the money it was owed, or even more. He has not provided any evidence for this or addressed what tax the trust paid. He has dismissed the fact the law was broken - and the accompanying fact that the company still has an unsettled tax bill - as a "technicality". Farage, when asked to evidence Tice's claim that HMRC received equal/more tax, snapped at a reporter and demanded she provide a "lecture" on the nature of real estate investment trusts. - Story #3: Tice failed to pay ~£100k in corporation tax on dividends deposited in four shell companies he owned and which were part of a group which donated huge sums to Reform. Last month he gave us contradictory stories as to why dividends were not taxed. a) He said they were tax-exempt. (They were not in this case.) b) He said the parent group suffered losses allowing tax bills to be offset. (This is not the case.) He did not respond to further inquiries which we sent yesterday morning. Overall, the evidence indicates Tice used unusual measures to avoid £600k, and failed to pay up to £220k on tax owed. Per @DanNeidle the underpayments mean the firms are vulnerable to HMRC investigation which could lead to required repayment plus interest and fines.

Enjoy your weekend ! Kids & dogs....to cleanse the timeline. 🥰👦❤️🐶😍

the trolls have started again, portraying Starmer as a good honest man ! Honestly, its so obvious these naive stupid fools don't know what they are talking about, but are 'encouraged' to post similar ridiculous comments which are as far from the truth about Starmer as the moon is

You see, right-wingers like you don't know how to talk normally, they only insult and humiliate others You're just a moron, racist moron Before I block you, short education ⬇️ ALPHABET OF MANIPULATION 1.

No, he's a liar and conman, only idiots believe otherwise

You know what Pippa. You and a few other journos hacks position yourselves to ensure he "faces judgement" every pesky day of the week. BTW. Is it correct your partner is a senior Official in the Foreign Office.. ?

@Battsby So you see, some people have far more decency than you and those like you here. You hate your own country and you do everything to show it and do it. I can't waste my precious time on people like you so bye bye Block 👋

@Cherryopenmind You seem to have opened your mind to a cult. You humiliate yourself. And as for pollution, you started it.

Nah. He's just a liar, and a coward.

@Battsby You seem to have opened your mind to hate. You don't debate anyone, you just enjoy humiliating others. Please don't pollute my space.

@Cherryopenmind So, as well as your open hypocrisy, you don't read all that well? Open your mind, Cherry!

@PippaCrerar @peterwalker99 You the media don't get to decide who the PM is , you've all got addicted to the drama of the Johnson shit show and looking forward to getting with Farage. You've lost me Pipa I thought you were better than this

@GeorgeAElliott4 @CamillaTominey Thank you dear George x

@Cherryopenmind @CamillaTominey Totally agree Cherry 👍👏👏

YouGov: Only 16% of Britons think Starmer has been honest about Mandelson appointment

@donmcgowan @OperaSocialist Well done Don!!!

Last weekend, I had broken a story about Reform UK 'fixing' a competition for one of their long term supporters to win. Byline Times scooped it. Jeremy Vine covered it. The Trawl featured it. Last night, Have I Got News for You also included it. A decent week really! 😊 The original story is here: x.com/donmcgowan/sta… HUGE H/T to @linfitlass as well for dropping the original photo to me.

@Cherryopenmind @TonyGoldSE @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Starmer is just as useless. Looking forward to him getting ousted. May locals are going to be fantastic!

"There are two scenarios here, and neither of them good for Keir Starmer." "Either he looks, again, like a gullible fool who is deeply incurious about his own government, or he's lying" @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall thenewsagents.co.uk/article/mandel…

@socalmpaul You are all so polluted with hatred that it is sickening.

“Be kind” has been hijacked into a form of brain rot

@DaveJWordsworth @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall It's not easy to live in hatred, is it?

@Cherryopenmind @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Me too. He's clearly both.

@TonyGoldSE @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Who chose him? Don't tell me you're comparing Starmer to him? Two opposite worlds!

@Cherryopenmind @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Here's Cherry talking about a British PM.

@charlotteukcity ❤️

@Cherryopenmind That’s wonderful Cherry, there a fewer things better than volunteering and helping others. I hope it goes really well x

Have a lovely weekend everyone. A reminder that X doesn’t represent all people or all views. Around the world are many decent, good, polite people making a positive difference. Let’s keep our own souls pure & our hearts with charity in them, no matter what others are doing. ❤️

Even if this is true, I am not surprised that the public thinks Starmer is lying. Journalists like you, and the vast majority of the media, have spent the last two years doing everything possible to portray him as a liar and a bad man. The truth is, he has more decency than all of you put together

@Michael45814075 @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Micky Micky my gosh France? 11 followers?

@Cherryopenmind @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @lewis_goodall Bollocks. Maybe he didn’t resign but was pushed or maybe he was offered the chance to keep his gold plated pension only if he resigned with immediate effect. He knew Starmer wanted Mandelson and being only a couple of weeks into a dream job gave him what he wanted.

Is the fate of Keir Starmer in the hands of a now-former top civil servant he just used as a “human shield”? “Olly Robbins knows exactly what happened. What he chooses to do now is of utmost importance.” @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall
