We are not a serious country if this is true.

Crass, unimaginative and, in the case of “Seacole”, desperate. English towns are not named after historical figures - this isn’t America.

EXCLUSIVE: A Scottish Reform UK candidate hiked the rent on a men’s mental health charity causing them to quit their tenancy, The National can reveal

NEW: The IFS have rubbished Reform Scotland's income tax plans as "not credible", a "mirage" and "unserious". A calamitous couple of days for Lord Offord.

Thursday: Stuart Niven unveiled as a Reform candidate in Dundee. Friday: suspended. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

NEW: Reform's Malcolm Offord is refusing to sack a Holyrood candidate who backed thug Tommy Robinson and called for Muslims to be deported. He said Senga Beresford's views were "fruity" but said in a "former life". The comments were made in 2024. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

That didn’t take long

wait what

To do so would require changes to reserved legislation at Westminster.

@JMulhall1993 Or any office

He is a petulant man child totally unsuited for high office.

Richard Tice said that Angela Raynor should resign over £40,000 of stamp duty. Today it is revealed that the same man has avoided £600,000 of corporation tax. Should he resign? Or is it one rule for posh blokes and another for working class women?

So he avoided tax.

This will be given the same weight by our media as the Angela Rayner stamp duty stuff, right? Right?

Lord Offord says 40pc of Reform’s Holyrood candidates have been members of the Tory party. Remind me again about this fresh force in Scottish politics?

He’s happy to talk up how good they’ll be, but Reform don’t want to take the hard decisions that have resulted from his banker buddies and Tory defectors crashing the economy.

Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England. So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter. Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t. What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure. It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine. So why is he manufacturing outrage? Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself. They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷 They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️ And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda. Let’s be clear: Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy. Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason. To keep markets and household finances stable. I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring. So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌

This wonderful Glasgow landmark survived the Clydeside Blitz and has succumbed to a vape shop. A bloody vape shop.
