When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Great Britain threw away 5GW of wind power during Storm Dave & replaced it using gas 🔥

That's one and a half Sizewell C-sized nuclear power stations, or four Dogger Bank A-sized wind farms.

Or to put it another way, it's a shit load of power.

Why throw it away? Because our straw isn't big enough…

Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £1,467,023,332 so far this year! wastedwind.energy

Not one, EVER.

The idea Starmer has ‘kept Britain out of this illegal war’ has been a lie.

Starmer says he is ‘fed up’ with Trump and Putin’s impact on UK energy costs.

Energy costs were high even before invasions by Putin and Trump.

Ofgem pricing formula guarantees exorbitant profits. Companies neglect infrastructure investment.

It can all be changed by nationalization.

Where to find the words anymore?

What to say when Israel continues to behave like this?

And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon.

This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right.
BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf

Royal Mail privatisation scandal

Today price of 1st class mail rises to £1.80 - an increase of 10p; 2nd class, by 4p to 91p.

When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

Royal Mail hasn't met letter delivery targets, but price still rises.

Regulators do what?

Brexit continues to trash British businesses and utter halfwits like Priti Patel and Robert Jenrick are having EU-phobic wetties over an idiotic non-story about marmalade.
That’s what you couldn’t make up, Robert. Just how imbecilic our politics has become.

A huge betrayal.

Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.

And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create.

Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable.

James Dyson is a scumbag.

Ed Miliband has sold us all out.

The climate movement, the environmental sector - and most importantly - our future generations.

No longer can Labour claim to have the odd minister who "gets it."

They're bought and paid for.

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks.

A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal.

Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

King Charles’s state visit to US will be ‘humiliation’ amid Iran war.

Cancel the visit.

It is part of appeasement of a crazed felon who doesn't respect international law.

Must work with the EU. Abandon dollarisation of trade, which gives US a cut from every trade. Trade in local currencies.

Not to believe a single word out of his syphillitic brain, but.. what does being "out of the war" mean?

He's talking about walking away with the Srait of Hormuz still closed. He launched a war, collapsed global supply chains, and we're meant to accept US ghosting? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-says-us-will-be-out-of-iran-within-two-to-three-weeks.html

Israel is an apartheid state.

That apartheid now officially includes the death penalty.

Israel has long engaged in mass extrajudicial executions of Palestinians.

It's now official state policy.
