Fantastic advice from S. Wales Mountain Rescue Team

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

You might have to turn up for the results of this one, Nige.

Jfc! Where’s the ‘protect our women’ mob now then? Oh there they are assaulting a woman. What utter scum.

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

Just watching Paddington 2, just got to the bit where the met police fit up a South American immigrant for a crime he didn’t commit. Hard hitting social commentary on a Saturday night. 🙂

I wish people would stop using colanders like this - they're going to strain their eyes.

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

bless him

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

George and Fiona Cottrell understood to have been interviewed under caution by Met police

Ten years of the US failing to bring back manufacturing might have provided some sort of clue. Another one might have been that in places which did get factories they struggled to find the labour. Reindustrialisation is an ageing society wondering where their childhood went.

Apparently the incoming Burnham government is looking for "big ideas". Here are 10 of them:

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal. New #HarborneReceipts investigation from @thenerve.news. 🔗 below 1/

Well, that was a fucking ride.

As long as the government remains on the fascist enabling X nobody can take anything they say seriously with regards to social media and safety

"I said it's a good that Nigel Farage has started a newsletter to speak directly to his supporters. What did I say Roy?" "You said he's a thin-skinned crybaby who thinks he should be totally unaccountable because his bullshit and lies don't stand up to scrutiny"

Calls for inquiry into ‘all royal finances’ after Andrew subletting revelations

Real Jim Bowen “look what you could have won!” vibes here.

Have we considered the possibility the money was FOR stoking riots?

How Reform want people to see Rob Kenyon v how everyone actually sees him.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to avoid all media interviews during an important by-election. What did I say Roy?" "You said the cowardly little shit's in hiding because of his dodgy financial dealings"

Excellent stuff from @mrjohncrace.bsky.social

Wow didn’t know this, fully in the mold of the brothers Grimm.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

All very Trumpian…

Nicked it off someone on here - although I added an extra vowel…

The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has confirmed that it is now investigating Nigel Farage for failing to declare the £5 million he secretly accepted from a Thailand-based Crypto billionaire

The media are ignoring this story, hoping you didn't notice. Please let them know your thoughts by GOING OUT AND VOTING TODAY! 👊💥👍 Thank You. 😉 ##localelections #reformuk #labour #greens #libdems #tories

If the mainstream press refuses to investigate Reform’s candidates and their scandalous backgrounds and attitudes, I guess @bylinetimes.bsky.social will have to do it. These are just some of our exclusives from the last couple of days Www.bylinetimes.com

The idea that people once took varoufakis seriously still amazes me, the fact that some still do appals me.

Farage’s partner refuses to confirm how she paid for house in his constituency

Zack Polanski is discovering you don’t need hypnotherapy to make a massive boob.

The state visit to the US has been like watching a magician show a dog a card trick. Everyone has stood around going “how clever!” but the dog just wants a treat and a tummy rub before it goes back to peeing on everything in the garden.

Good riddance to hereditary peers. This country remains in thrall to aristocracy and inherited privilege, and it's an absolute cancer. "Birth right" bollocks should not afford anyone a higher status than others in 2026. Ludicrous crap.

Just tried to get Alexa to play Angine de Poitrine. M: Play Angine de Poitrine A: playing angie by the Rolling Stones M: play the band Angine de Poitrine A: playing music by the band Arrgh!

We go live to Melania giving a press conference at the White House.

Monarchy and the Church have always been in it together, ever since Christianity was designated the state religion of the Roman Empire. Emperors knew how powerful the idea of “one god up there, one king down here” was.

During the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill, MP after MP got up to point out what's missing from it: fixing the voting system. The problems with FPTP can no longer be ignored - and neither can the growing calls for PR. 📣 Here are just a few highlights:

REFORM - leading in the polls - charges prospective candidates £125 to apply to run as an MP - before selecting a GB News host who is a colleague of the party leader and one of his MPs to run instead. You'd honestly think this was newsworthy. But apparently not.
