In the Guardian’s Budget Game I was able to get rid of the 2 child cap, not freeze tax thresholds any longer, not tax electric vehicles & generate a good surplus. At the same time my choices pleased the polls & markets too. What’s not to like? #Budget2025

Petition: Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy We are concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaig...

It's time to have a real enquiry into Russia's interference in UK politics, particularly in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

We know that UKIP MEPs like Farage and Gill were happy to spread Kremlin propaganda, but how deep was their relationship with the Kremlin?

Of course the Kremlin preferred β€œTrump’s original proposal.” They wrote it.

Don’t ever recall a budget that has had so much wittering on and speculation beforehand.

New: Boris Johnson’s β€˜Brexit Titanic success’ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Rachel Reeves says there’s a β€œhole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's Β£180bn-Β£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

We urgently need to know how many of these accounts have been spreading/amplifying hate, division and instability in Britain. We already know that a foreign actor - Elon Musk - promoted violent overthrow of the government. Has his platform been enabling foreign adversaries to do the same?

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

ReFUK traitor Nathan Gill, sentenced to 10.5 years today, was due to give a talk on cryptocurrencies at a Kremlin-backed convention in Moscow when he was arrested. Fancy that!🧐 #Russia #NathanGill

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf calls Nathan Gill 'ancient history' The party's head of policy says he has never met Nathan Gill, who served as the leader of Reform UK in Wales in 2021.

According to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's former leader in Wales being convicted of taking money to undermine British national interest in favour of Russia is "ancient history". πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

He was sent down for ten years three days ago. Three. Days. Ago. ~AA

Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

Read article through www.thenerve.news w/ full timeline recounting all times Gill took money & what was required of him from his Russian contacts. A far greater & more in depth report than any from other news media.
Also left me with sad thought as to how little a Reform MP's soul was worth.
