Cllr Andrea Powell

Reform’s Richard Tice avoided nearly £600,000 in tax The deputy leader’s property company paid nothing in corporation tax on multimillion-pound profits for most of 2018-21

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

FCC chair threatens to throttle news broadcasts over ‘hoaxes’ about Iran war Brendan Carr posts that he may cancel spectrum permits of ‘mainstream news’ outlets for ‘misleading’ coverage

Funny how all the "free speech" warriors go so quiet when actual state censorship comes along.

Nigel Farage regrets running 'bankrupt' Worcestershire Council The Reform UK leader says he wishes the party

“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems”

V much summing up his approach to power.
Grifting and gobshiting - yes please.
Hard work and responsibility - god no.

I don't think I will ever understand wealthy people who are so determined to make the smallest possible contribution to the country's tax income. How much money do they actually need?

Wealthy British nationals fleeing Gulf conflict bypass UK to avoid tax bills High-net-worth residents of UAE heading to Ireland and France to wait out missile attacks before tax year ends

Looks like the radical left is dam serious! 🦫

When people #VoteGreen this May, they know they'll be voting for someone locally rooted, someone who deeply cares about the issues affecting our communities, and someone who will work their socks off to make hope normal again.

Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran.

So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.

Drove my husband to the station this morning, using the first of my 25 passes, and was amazed at how clear Abingdon Road was! We sailed through at a lovely sedate 20 mph 😁.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

Such a powerful message from @mothinali.bsky.social . I love the phrase "an island of belonging" - what a contrast to the nasty hate-filled rhetoric of the populist right. Keep up the good work, Mothin- we're all so proud of you 💚.

Performative cruelty.

It was!

Are they refugees from the Fête du Citron in Menton?

The Hunger Gap A gulf in public understanding prevents us from seeing how and why our food supply is at risk.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Great to join fellow Green Party County Councillor and a local Parish Councillor at our surgery in Benson this morning; issues raised included footpaths, community cohesion projects, sustainable heating options and bin collections!!

Doing a Councillor surgery with Green Party colleague from the County Council and a Parish Councillor - 3 levels of local government all in one place 😁💚

I think we should allow Trump to choose Iran’s next leader as long as the rest of us can choose America’s. Because it’s clearly far too important a job to be left in the hands of Americans.

End the sewage pollution scandal We're sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed, and sick of a system rigged against us. This is a scandal and this dirty business must end. For more than 30 years water companies have put corpo...

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Dirty Business on C4 was absolutely brilliant and fucking terrifying. It’s imperative we re-nationalise our water companies otherwise the greedy bastards will kill us all.

Old news!

'Dirty Business' exposed the human cost of profit before public health. Great to see our fabulous @greenparty.org.uk candidate in the last General Election, Jo Robb, featuring in episode 2. Our water system won’t be fixed with tinkering. It needs public ownership.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Greens always put in the hours!

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Clear cynical populism from the LibDems here. Driving has been disproportionately subsidised for far too long already!

Even further and faster than I expected. news.sky.com/story/greens...
