The stupidest take I have ever seen, and we see it repeatedly is that billionaires could/will make the world better

No they have spent their entire lives robbing as much as possible to make themselves as rich as possible

They are never making anything better for anyone but them

Some dinosaurs in the House of Lords are filibustering the Assisted Dying Bill, no matter how much they deny it. They are demonstrating how dangerously dysfunctional the unelected and oversized money gobbling institution is

Tom Homan is supposed to fix Trump's Minnesota crisis. His record raises serious questions. The White House border czar is no moderate.

Tom Homan, the man who was reportedly recorded accepting $50,000 in a paper bag from businessmen, who were actually undercover FBI agents, is supposed to fix Trump’s Minnesota crisis.

What could possibly go wrong?

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Suella Braverman has joined Reform, saying "I feel like I've come home."

It's a good job Nigel Farage didn't inadvertently overclaim a fiver on Universal Credit, because he'd really be in trouble then

Significant fall in government borrowing in December, figures show More money than expected was collected through tax and higher National Insurance Contributions, although public sector spending also increased.

Nice of the BBC to mention this in the Business section of their website.

But I can't help thinking if it had been a significant increase on borrowing it would have led the News page with big black doomy headlines ...

Nigel Farage apologises for 17 breaches of MPs’ code of conduct Reform UK leader, who failed to declare £380,000 on time, says he is computer-illiterate ‘oddball’

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

Reform leader Nigel Farage committed 17 breaches of Parliamentary Standards by late-registering payments from GB News, Direct Bullion, Baron App/others totaling £384,000

He got no punishment

Imagine how you would be punished if your tax returns on £384,000 were 120 days late
