Reform is treated by much of the broadcast media as though it is the official Opposition and next government. Could @ChrisMasonBBC @BethRigby @itvpeston etc therefore please apply to this scam the same levels of scrutiny and news value as the lesser sums involved in the tax
EXCL: Richard Tice avoided £600K in corporation tax after acquiring legal status which experts say is rarely seen for a firm like his Reform MP then channeled dividends to offshore trust, pension vehicle and dormant entities — many of which didn’t pay tax

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Thanks to our policies, we've done it in 9 💚 https://t.co/3R7dA0Iy3H

@AlexMacLeod9 Up until 1980 every single extraction in the North Sea was done by BP. Until 1979 we had a 51% controlling share. By 1987 we had 0%. It could have been fully nationalised at any point to extract the vast wealth for the good of the UK. Instead Thatcher sold it for nothing.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

The cost of the clean energy transition is less than the entire cost of the last fossil fuel crisis. A further reminder that politicians on the right who want to abandon our drive for clean power want to saddle our country with huge costs and risks. https://t.co/uiIbe7377L

Only days ago Reform were criticising Starmer’s response and claiming the country was being humiliated Now they’ve seen which way the crowd is heading, they’re trying to run to the front, shouting follow me A pathetic spectacle from pathetic MPs
The Iranian regime is wicked, but this war needs to come to an end as soon as possible because it is making Britain poorer. Reform are a party for working people, not drawn-out wars in faraway places. The liberal interventionists of the early 21st century failed our own

UK welfare spending broken into categories. When the right-wing rail against "excessive welfare spending" they never say that over half of it is for pensioners. Taking the state pension & other pensioner support it amounts to 58% of ALL welfare spending.

Rail fares frozen for the first time in 30 years. Energy bills down £150. National Living Wage up £900. Half a million children lifted out of poverty. What do populists fear most? Progress.

Trump disrespects British troops, starts an unlawful war with Iran, humuliates our close ally in Zelensky, defends Russia and still has the brass neck to think the UK will bend to his wishes. The person responsible for trashing the US/UK relationship is Trump.

Many of the British media siding with Trump on Iran after he said UK troops hung back in Afghanistan is pretty astounding and very odd.

History lesson for Trump: In 1939, Churchill asked America for help to fight the Nazis. America refused. Churchill continued to ask in 1940 & 1941 as Europe fell. Not until Pearl Harbour did America jon Britain in WW2. *Then they leased us food & armaments*. We paid until 2006.
'This is not Churchill we're dealing with' Trump hits out at Starmer again over PM's initial response to Iran war 'By the way, I'm not happy with the UK either’ he said in the Oval Office TOUGH. UK we will only engage British armed forces when there's a legal basis to do so

The British Government's position is nuanced, clear, and correct. It's also frightfully dull, so will play badly on social media.

Absolutely… I would also add that it is not the time for leaders of other parties to snipe and pop… this is not the time to play politics, it’s a time to support.. as has happened in previous times of National peril.. and it is deeply unstatesmanlike and undignified.
Keir Starmer hits back at Donald Trump's criticism of the UK not getting involved in the strikes on Iran "It is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I have done. And I stand by it" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
