Old bird and little dog. Sense of humour. Despise tory government. Hates liars and grifters. #Farageout





🚨 This is why so many people don’t trust the mainstream media anymore. Here’s what actually happened: The tax was paid. A small technical error meant Richard Tice paid it personally instead of through the company. So HMRC got the full amount. He also ended up paying more personal tax than he should have. Nothing was dodged. Nothing was hidden. Yet the headline makes it sound like some kind of scandal. Most people will only see that headline and assume the worst. That’s how this works. And it’s exactly why papers like The Times are losing readers. By June 2024, their print readership had dropped to under 1 million, the lowest of all News UK National publications. People aren’t stupid. But The Times clearly thinks they are.




EXCLUSIVE Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to drop legislation which would cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a further deterioration of relations with Donald Trump The Times has been told that a bill underpinning the controversial deal will not be included in the King's Speech next month after the US president branded it an "act of great stupidity" and withdrew his support The government stands by the deal and will attempt to persuade Trump to change his mind but has acknowledged that it cannot proceed without his backing Ministers are "deeply frustrated" with Trump, who initially supported the deal after extensive discussions between intelligence agencies but changed his mind during a dispute with Nato over plans to seize Greenland The government believes that it puts the future of Diego Garcia, the UK-US base in the islands which has been used during the Iran war, at risk It is concerned that Mauritius will mount a legal challenge granting it access to the waters around Diego Garcia, making it harder for the base to host nuclear submarines and patrol surrounding waters The deal was highly contentious. It would have seen Britain hand over the islands to Mauritius before immediately entering into a 99-year lease for Diego Garcia. The government claimed it would cost £3.5billion, although the Tories disputed this and said it would cost £35billion his over its lifetime. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…



Exclusive: Richard Tice’s company broke the law by failing to pay tens of thousands of pounds in tax on dividends that were paid to him and his offshore trust. He received at least £91,000 in excess payments as a result of the failure. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
