Reform’s Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality from former Russian finance minister’s wife 'Tice and Oakeshott stayed at the Chernukhins’ “turreted villa” with “a stunning view of the Mediterranean” and had supper with them at a Michelin-starred restaurant'

"Another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules, after its deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin – wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister"

First priority for Teesside is to find out whose pockets the investment potential has gone into. A small number of well connected people have made a fortune doing very little

That’s a striking example of how “levelling up” rhetoric often hides massive private enrichment. The Teesside deal has become a case study in how opaque post-Brexit funding and deregulation can funnel public wealth into private hands — with little accountability or community return.

Reform=all mouth and no trousers

Just watched `The Librarians` on Storyville. A chilling and depressing tale but great that the BBC schedules things like this as well as the rest of the dross. Does help to explain Trump and a real warning sign for Britain not to let these loonies take over here.

A real comedian in every sense of the word. The Tories really are history since the relatively sensible ones were turfed out over Brexit

Syed writes for the Times which continues to veer to the right and continues its fascination and promotion of Farage

Every edition of Private Eye contains new revelations of the dubious practice and worse on Teesside . Apart from a sketchy external review the Govt. shies away from tackling the way in which a shed load of public funds have been spirited away. How a Tory leader can get away with this is incredible.

He’s standing for election next Thursday.

It will be great when someone shines the disinfectant of sunshine on Reform. The good news is that via Farage they are inextricably linked to Trump whose passage beneath the waves appears to be speeding up.

And of course the slimy toad Farage is one of his biggest fans

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

It just what the world is crying out for; more photos of celebrities

If Trump was merely an embarrassment I suppose people could live with that. The world has to live with much greater defects from the orange man.

Here's a Danny Kruger story we all seem to have forgotten. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_poli...

Farage is not absolutist about anything much. Like his hero Trump will say anything for 2 minutes publicity and a cheap headline. Lapped up by the gutter press and sadly the BBC in the ratings war.

Times reports divorce case of sanctioned Russian oligarch being dealt with in Court of Appeal. Why is the British legal system still dealing with people like this?

A woman of unparalleled judgement joins Reform. She will fit like a glove.

Reform UK in Lancs distances itself from deputy leader's fracking pledge Reform UK bosses in Lancashire have distanced themselves from comments made by Richard Tice calling for the return of fracking in the UK.

No fracking here, Lancashire Reform UK tells Richard Tice

No fracking in Lancashire, says Reform-led council Reform UK councillors say a wider promise to restart fracking will not affect the county.

As Farage pledges to open up Britain for fracking, hilariously the Reform-led council in Lancashire says “oh, there’ll be no fracking HERE”

Self-serving shambolic hypocrisy, borne out of knowing that fracking is deeply unpopular in Lancashire - and everywhere
