@BaileyofBristol The B62 is a lovely van with a great layout. I just wish Bailey would provide decent aftercare. It’s shockingly bad. I’ve been waiting 4 months for a replacement part under warranty, with an interior panel hanging off the roof….!

A shame @EvanHD we didn’t hear from @kareninglis on self publishing on #BBCPM tonight after @billbrysonn’s narrow view. Publishers now have little money to take risks, so they focus on known names. If you do get a deal, they have no money for marketing. So why not go it alone?

@jonsopel It looks like an ambush to me. Trump and Vance wanted this response so they can claim to have a reason to dump Zelensky and Ukraine.

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

Shocking to see such ministerial complacency in the face of risk that our fragile democracy is further undermined. The issue of reforming party funding was in Labour’s manifesto & they should act now, before what little trust is left is totally destroyed theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Musk’s megalomania grows apace. He’s clearly trying to engineer a far-right revolution across the western world. He’s now backed the AfD. Before that Reform. And he’s the dominant figure in Trump world. He’ll clearly get behind Le Pen.

Absolutely bonkers… Carbon capture is a waste of time and money - everyone knows… except the government? How can taxpayers be liable up to £6bn for a technology with such a long history of failure…? We should be putting £££ into renewables, not the pockets of fossil fuels companies for their failed pollution projects… How on earth did British taxpayers end up on the hook for the possible failure of this scheme at planning - hard to understand.

Give me a break… Farage would be crying ‘foul globalist corruption’ if a foreign donor wanted to support any other party. Let’s play fair and square. End all political donations now and publicly fund elections…
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

Once again the Electoral Commission prove themselves to be establishment stooges. Both Labour and the Tories are now terrified of Reform and Elon Musk. Never mind peerages for donations or the millions given to them by foreign businessman via UK companies in the past. This old order needs to be swept away.

BREAKING NEWS: French billionaire Jean-Louis Le Riche and German industrialist Hans-Dietrich Geldmann have agreed to donate 200m Euros to a new campaign to get 🇬🇧 back into the EU after the disaster of Brexit. Happy to announce I will be campaign director. I’m sure @Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard and Co will see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Common sense innit? #keepMuskMoneyOutOfOurCountry #TakeBackControl
Adam Schwarz@AdamJSchwarz

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK groups: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK: "If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

In case it wasn’t clear, the policy is that blocking roads and causing people disruption is a disgrace when it’s people I oppose and fantastic when it’s people I support

Haven’t watched a full episode of #BBCQT in years. Most enjoyable to watch Farage getting his arse handed to him by Campbell over Brexit. But the star turn was this guy.

Two billionaire (tax absent) right-wing media barons (one a US citizen, the other a non-dom) own almost 3/4 of the weekly newspaper circulation in the UK… How can that be right? They have an outsized influence over our country. We need to reform media ownership rules.

Right-wing nuts in my comments about me (openly) bidding for the Observer whilst their hero donates to Reform…and who runs the media now btw. Lefties? Hardly. Tax absent, rich right-wing nuts.
