Congratulations to Celtic on winning the league. But some of the replies from Celtic fans mocking my son’s passing have been utterly vile. For a club that speaks so proudly about faith and compassion, some of you should be ashamed of the hatred you’ve shown.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the ex-Ukip/Reform politician and close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over ten years for taking multiple bribes via a handler from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story..🧵⬇️

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.
