Richard Tice:
- engaged in highly aggressive tax avoidance to avoid nearly £600,000 of tax
- did so at a time when the taxpayer was already paying his salary as an MEP
Nothing patriotic about this party of grifters

Yeah, I mean, if you want the government to tackle the cost of living, then dealing with the high cost of fuel is part of it.
It was never uphill to begin with.
With all that's going on in the world this is excellent news.
Embarrassing.
Reform promised to 'fix' Worcestershire.
They have no answers and no responsibility.

The language was so inflammatory I almost collapsed just reading it.
Was this because of what Swift said or the fact they published it?
I would add that his departure from the Lib Dems is more noteworthy.
Ed Davey is a man in touch with the issues facing modern Britain.
Evergreen post.
![“When I was growing up, the story of Israel was always ever-present in the family home and in the school,” he says. “As I got older, though, I was always really aware of socialist Zionism, a small group of people that were always against the eviction of the Palestinians from their homeland, and [non-Zionist Jewish socialist movement] Bundism as well.
“So, there’s lots of different aspects of what a Jewish homeland would look like. It is a complicated, sensitive and nuanced conversation. What is clear to me, though, is what Zionism is under Benjamin Netanyahu – a genocidal regime.”
“Zionism is racism” is the title of a motion that is being sent to the next Green Party Conference and that Polanski has not opposed. Would that statement not flatten the nuance he speaks of? “If we’re talking about Benjamin Netanyahu and the genocidal regime, then that is obviously racist,” he replies.
But “Zionism is racism” would be labelling as racist those he grew up alongside – family, friends – who consider themselves Zionist.
“I think all statements and slogans are complicated because there’s always more nuance behind a sentence, and so that’s why I think the sentence needs qualifying to talk about the present day and what’s happening right now.”
He would not consider them racists for being Zionists, though, would he? “Who, sorry?” Zionists he grew up around, for example. “I think if someone supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide, then I think there’s no other definition of that than racist.”
But he has mentioned different kinds, such as socialist Zionism? “Yeah, and so that’s for that person to define what their Zionism is. That’s why I’m defining the Zionism that I’m talking about. And that’s the problem with labels, right?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:62nedrv7rg4wqftuzqvptmf6/bafkreifh73l5wklnaiahgwilitrjsfccamnhgphjk3wlupt24xyc72sniy)
This is also a fucking word salad response. 'It all depends what the definition of Zionism is' - except this motion (which he refuses to condemn) literally does not make any distinction! You could be a left-wing Histadrut organiser who hates Netanyahu, this motion would still define you as a racist.
All part of the destabilization process.
I accuse the Guardian of bad journalism.
I'll give it to the middle of the week if that's the result.
Aw, no. Rob Grant RIP.
As if the Greens care about nature.
Yep and why would the BBC want to distract from the Epstein files.
I've seen someone on here suggesting that this was done to distract from the Epstein files.
Fuck Badenoch if anything happens to any Labour MP I will hold her personally responsible.
This Labour government succeeded where the Tories failed – legislating to abolish Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions and transform private renting.
Now Reform want to repeal our Renters’ Rights Act and deny tenants the security, rights and protections they’ve secured.
Disgraceful.
I've encountered people like that in Labour convinced that they're brilliant and they have much to contribute but they usually end up floundering or flouncing out.
My views on the SEND reforms news today.
This is my view as a parent of 2 children with SEND and as someone who cares deeply about the welfare of staff in the education system.
And in response, you advocate shutting him away in a box.
Show your progressive values by advocating for disabled people to be shut away so they don't bother you or anyone else.
I personally hold Keir Starmer responsible for this outrage which occured when he wasn't Prime Minister.
Yeah, that's funny, I don't remember that. I remember Boris, Liz, and Rishi. But I don't remember Keir.
The article also includes people who have worked alongside her, and they say she isn't an evil bully who goes around making people attend non-binary book clubs.
So she was already vetted anyway.
As the head of the FDA Union points out, she's already been heavily vetted www.politicshome.com/news/article...
So who should he appoint then?
