VAT from household electricity bills to be removed from 1 October, in Andy Burnham’s first major policy announcement as UK PM bbc.in/4vKP4rL

Desperate stuff from the Deputy Leader of Reform Clearly still rattled by the savage decision by the Times to cancel a lifestyle piece about Oakeshott and him A mistake years ago over a phone isn’t comparable with facing 22 charges from the Federal authorities, making a plea bargain for a specimen charge of wire fraud , and serving 8 months in prison Now having written the book on money laundering, Posh George and his mother have been interviewed by police under caution regarding over a million pounds which flowed through a company owned by Richard Tice Tice really should be careful about hurling allegations around…..bearing in mind he’s standing on shaky ground

Ok, a summary. • JJK Trading is an (investment)company registered in Clacton. • it was incorporated in Nov 2023 and dissolved in April 2025 • it has one director Joshua James Kerry dob on CH Nov 2000 • the registered office address is a terraced house • there is no birth record for a JJK 10 years either side of 2000 • there is no evidence of the company ever having traded • Farage had £5m laundered to him (via a company) in early 2024 • Reform received a donation of £200k via a sham company whose owner is a Churchwarden in Potters Barr Can anyone explain all this?

Breaking: Andy Burnham has said he wants social care to "operate on the NHS principle" that it should be free at the point of use in a move that could cost as much as £18billion a year. The new prime minister said that the current social care system is "broken" and is costing the NHS billions as people are sent to hospital unnecessarily for long periods of time. He said: "I just think that's quite damning really of my generation of politicians. "The cost to the NHS of people sent in unnecessarily, long length of stay and then medically fit to be discharged but can't ... this costs billions every year in the NHS. "So that has to be taken into account alongside a conversation with the public about well how could we pay for a care system that operates on the NHS principle."

🚨 REFORM UK’S POLL FAIRYTALE IS CRACKING! 🚨 For 2 years they bragged about their lead. Now reality is catching up. Reform drops to 23% — its lowest since 2024 — while the Conservatives climb to 20%, their highest since April 2025. Turns out voters do care about the £5 million controversy and the questions surrounding Farage. The hype is fading. The honeymoon is over. 🇬🇧

A very good first discussion with @andyburnham. We are both committed to bringing the EU and the UK closer and closer. Together, we will work towards a successful Summit that delivers for our businesses, our young people and our shared security. And we will continue our excellent cooperation in support of Ukraine. Europe is stronger when the EU and the UK work side by side.

As Andy Burnham breezed through his speech without a lectern, let alone notes, I reflect on how well some tweets age.

BREAKING: Andy Burnham tells reporters he's looking at cutting energy bills and bus fares as part of cost-of-living package - announced tomorrow - which could eventually include more radical plans such as freezing private sector rents. “We are looking at measures that could make a difference this year… We just want to do some things that people will feel and feel quite quickly,” he says. “It won’t solve everything, it won’t take all of the pressure off, but it just shows the direction of travel and that we’re serious about helping them out.”

There are endless videos of Tristan & Andrew Tate talking about beating, choking, raping, & controlling women. And yet @VP follows them. What is wrong with you @JDVance

@Brunte84 Reformtard maths when 24% of "The Country" = vast majority 😭😂😭😂😭

The only person the vast majority of this country want to see at Buckingham Palace 🤝🇬🇧

Oh fuck off. Farage has previously described MPs switching parties without triggering by-elections as “disgraceful” and an insult to voters, yet Reform accepted multiple Tory defectors who retained seats without fresh mandates.

@BethRigby Remember when you wore a Reform colours suit for the PM's resignation speech..... good times..... 💩🏴‍☠️💀☠️💩

NEW: Am told Keir Starmer wrote handwritten notes for every single member of No 10 staff - in the hundreds - thanking them for their public service

Lucy Connolly is banned from working with kids and not allowed near schools. Let that sink in

Am shocked and surprised that MI 5 and MI 6 haven't been on the case of NIGEL FARAGE, self appointed leader of Reform and been scrutinising him The WANABE PRIMEMINSTER could surely never be trusted with TOP SECRET papers and the protection, security and safety of this country. He is surely beholden to his IFFY Donors both home and away .

Insight investigation poses new Qs of Cottrell’s role in huge donations to Reform prior to July 2024 general election — some of which are already subject of ongoing Metropolitan Police inquiry By @venetiamenzies @ManuMidolo @GeorgeGreenwood and me

New prediction: Reform UK will have to dissolve by the end of the year.

This is the lowest thing Farage has ever done. Using a tragic murder to justify his dodgy finances. He is a disgrace.

Farage and #Reform MPs may be wise to stop attaching the due process taken to the House of Commons to investigate #Farage . Johnson previously used the terms #KangerooCourt and #WitchHunt which led to a harsher sentence. Farage knows he will be suspended for over 10 days.

.@Nigel_Farage, just like Trump - thinks he interprets the rules. The money from Posh George he says is ‘undeclarable in every single way’. Then he says he stopped money from him just before standing in the last election. But the rules go back 12 months from that point. It’s declarable in every single way.

@ZiaYusufUK Reform Farage By Election logic: It is the people of Makerfield who have decided Burnham is our new Prime Minister. Over ruling the whole country, Parliamentary Standards Committees, Criminal investigations, MI6..

Burnham had no mandate. He must call a general election.
