Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

The New Avingon Pope!

The Unionist press corps in Scotland is running around in blind panic as the plans for collusion between Sarwar and Offord are completely exposed: bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/04/15/sta…

🚨NEW: A Reform UK Senedd candidate has called the Queen “a fraud” who needs to be overthrown, along with espousing several dangerous conspiracy theories. Zia Yusuf has claimed the party has “the best vetting in the country”. Really? hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/15/the…

@DanNeidle @Nigel_Farage @threadreaderapp unroll

I hope @Nigel_Farage retracts this false statement. I did not say Mr Tice paid the full amount. I said we don’t know what tax Mr Tice and his offshore trust paid. And the “little bit more” is an invention.

So in the best case, this article argues, maybe a blockade creates an economic crisis inside Iran within six months. Who is seriously considering this option? economist.com/middle-east-an…

@YRUnotlistening @YouGov @UKlPVoter As an aside. The 29% recognise the rampant inflation from the Wiemar Republic. What would their reparations be worth if a loaf of bread costs £1,000,000?

@YRUnotlistening @YouGov @UKlPVoter I think it probably because the 29% recognise the complete wreckage of the welfare system and subsequent tax burden on everyone would destroy their standard if living at a stroke. The UK would have a Rwandian economy over night.

With Reform UK pledging to deny new visas to people from countries seeking slavery reparations from Britain, our study found the public are opposed to paying reparations - although ethnic minority adults are not Black adults: 71% support Ethnic minority adults: 50% All adults: 24% White adults: 19% Results link in replies

@I_Am_Yain @YouGov I have an Ancestors that served as a doctor in the squadron. He was captured by Barbary pirates, enslaved and never heard from again. Should my family get reparations from North African, Arabic countries?

@YouGov I have at least one ancestor who served with the West Africa Squadron, so the only words an African is allowed to say to me about slavery are "thank you" (if they are descended from slaves) or "sorry" (if they are descended from slavers)

@NeekoC18 @IngrahamAngle Looks like and sounds like a monumental defeat and capitulation for the US!

@IngrahamAngle Let the BS FOX propaganda begin so their idiot fans can believe this is a trump win

ADM. HARWARD: “DETERRENCE IS BACK” “If they open the strait and stuff starts flowing tomorrow—it’s a huge victory for the president.” “We had lost all deterrence… they didn’t fear the United States. That’s changed—deterrence is back on the table.” “The Iranians know he was going to take them to the Stone Ages… now we watch what they do.”

Pro-Pals are out in London chanting “Muslim armies end your shame” with a banner calling for military action against Israel. How is this reasonable opinion? This is incitement of violence. @metpoliceuk

Gas is over $4 a gallon, Trump's approval is now 17 points under water, and it's clear that the Iran war is going to hurt Republicans politically. 🧵 natesilver.net/p/trump-approv…

@EmmaMAshford Will it only be vessels that are identified in their lintels? Where will the blood of the sacrificial lamb come from? The blood of the Iranians sacrificed by Trump's dithering?

Let my vessels go.

t.co/yyTUS2tYyZ FLASHBACK: Pure evil in Gaza. Hamas-UNRWA officials caught starving, torturing, and publicly executing their own civilians — for the “crime” of accepting free UN humanitarian aid without paying Hamas extra taxes to fund their jihad war. In the footage: Gazans who took food are thrown into cages, brutally beaten, starved for days, then dragged before a bloodthirsty mob. Before slaughtering them, Hamas carves the word “THIEF” into their backs — giving the crowd permission to rip them apart like animals. This is not “resistance.” This is not “freedom fighting.” This is savagery. This is a death cult. THIS is the true face of Hamas — the same Hamas the United Nations continues to protect and fund. Don’t tell me all cultures are equal. Share this. The world needs to see the barbarism they’re defending.

Another insane oped from the Wall Street Journal: Trump must put American boots on the ground or it will cause “American collapse.” I’m sorry, what?

The "Iran is losing" narrative is tracking the wrong number. Yes, missile and drone launch rates are down 90%+. But hit rate (or confirmed impacts per projectile fired) has been climbing steadily since Day 1. A 🧵 on what the data actually shows.

More tax nonsense from "influencer" Samuel Leeds. "I just sold my castle. On paper, I lost about £3.5m. But here is the part most people will not understand. It is also a tax write-off... the loss can be set-off against profits" No it isn't, and no you can't. Oh dear.

Companies House has now alerted all five million UK companies of the vulnerability that let anyone, anywhere in the world, access the private dashboard of any company. Meaning: view confidential personal information, modify company/director details, even file accounts.

@doctor_rahmeh Should read football.

@doctor_rahmeh A sacred site??? A footvsl kick around and a projectile arsenal!

Day 16. The blessed Al-Aqsa remains closed. For the first time in history. This is proof that we are the weakest Muslim Ummah in the history of Islam. Speaking about and protesting for Al-Aqsa is the most important thing any Muslim can do right now. Flood the streets of Arab and Muslim countries. Demand it is reopened. Words and protests will not help if they destroy it—God forbid.
