Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform By Henry Saker-Clark The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back Reform UK. Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets". Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week. They included pledges to cut VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs. The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents. In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs" He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade. "You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters. "However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry" Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

Looking forward to reading this.

By searching for "Farage" in the Epstein Files database (justice.gov/epstein), 38 results come up.

In one, Steve Bannon suggests to Epstein that his advisory roles to European political parties means he can influence European Parliament…. 1/3

If I got this right, the sensitive souls that like to run foxes literally and metaphorically into the ground then watch them torn apart by hounds - find the presence of Chris Packham harassing….bless them.

This man has form, he creates a false enemy, makes simplistic, alluring claims and persuades us to do something very much against our interests. Brexit damaged our economy. Nexit (our exit from net zero) would be far worse.

Farage sold farmers (and fishermen) a lie, along with the rest of the country. Proof is in the numbers. Brexit did great harm. So when Farage rails against his latest faux enemy - net zero - and tells us we’re better off without it, let’s remember all the broken Brexit promises.

Good.

Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

BREAKING: Morgan McSweeney has resigned from No10, saying he takes “full responsibility” for advising the PM to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.

Lewis Goodall has said he has looked through Hansard and not a single Conservative stood up and said appointing Mandleson was a bad idea let alone because of what everyone knew at the time with regard to Epstein.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

The dude whose company, thanks to Labour, will run our military analytics and to whom Wes Streeting is giving our personal healthcare data.

This gives us an idea why Labour do not want to investigate historic Russian influence in Britain. They have skeletons in their closet too

Left: Reform UK breaks electoral law

Right: Vote Leave break electoral law

Why are there no real and meaningful consequences for breaking electoral law in the UK?

…during COVID by high profile figures that the trolling became a trending topic.

I’m not alone. This is what happens to people who challenge power.

I now wonder if a movement will start, of all of the people who recognise what the global elite are up to, and have had enough.

It might sound really strange to say this, but none of this stuff surprises me. When I started campaigning, I was advised I’d be on watch lists. Journalists wanted to meet in out-of-the-way pubs or at park benches. Threats came from unlikely sources. I was trolled so intensely ..

🚨BREAKING: Parliament is going to debate the petition – BY-ELECTIONS TO BE CALLED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT TO ANOTHER PARTY on 16 March 2026!

Contact/Tag your MP now and ask them to attend the debate and speak out in support

Link to the contract award notice: www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/08387...

It's like Mandelson and Starmer watched and learned from the Tory VIP Lane:

💷 Privileged access ✅
💷 Personal benefit ✅
💷 No competition ✅

Mandelson benefitted financially through his stake in Global Counsel.

On Tuesday 10th Feb there will be a debate in Parliament around the Governments vision for the water sector. We dont think their plan will go far enough to end sewage pollution.

Ask your MP to attend the debate and support MPs calling for better from our water system.

The President has issued his invitation for politics to embrace open racism. It’s not like it was otherwise hard to detect, but this still feels like a big step further.

Truly shocking

The Mirror US screenshot: 'Disgusting' Trump posts racist clip of Obamas as monkeys during unhinged barrage in new low WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT - Donald Trump has received backlash for posting an 'incredibly racist' video targeting the Obamas during an unhinged Truth Social rampage

Trump is a vile racist bully

We should all condemn this without hesitation. But something tells me Farage will find a way to make excuses for his best mate Trump. I hope I’m wrong.

Latest from #BrokenNews; now the Epstein thing is definitely over, more over than last time it was over. So over there's no need to look for anything more. It's over-over.

It's a mystery.
