"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner
Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

Farage tells Reform conference: “We refuse to have our children’s minds poisoned with a twisted interpretation of history.”
What I suspect he really means is that he wants children to get taught a bunch of self-affirming lies about the past aka fake history and that's really very dangerous indeed.

Funny they don't seem so bothered by Jenrick's three homes (including a grade 1 listed manor) plus his forth home in his constituency rented at taxpayer expense.
Wonder why.

Daily Telegraph today refers to A Rayner’s property “empire”. Whatever you think of her housing arrangements, I don’t think constituency house (bought for 375k in 2016), house in Hove, plus use of ministerial flat in London is an “empire”. Duke of Westminster wont fear a rival!

Some facts:
● Connolly pleaded guilty.
● Her appeal failed in May and her sentence was upheld. (See image on the right)
● She's only been released because she's served 40% of her sentence and that's the automatic release point.

8% of people think it fell
Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023

Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

Not exactly new but just how terrible are the service stations on the M6? A monopoly of utterly terrible food options. I counted 4 out of 5 service stations having pretty much identical options between Manchester and Birmingham and the alternative was just swapping in one crap fast food with another

I also wonder when it becomes feasible that anyone still there is complicit in and/or comfortable with the racist bile that subsumes the site.
These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the site’s own AI for why it’s like that.
Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.
I mean I’m a fairly femme cis woman but I don’t carry any ID on me that shows my gender. How could I *prove* I am a woman, if I had to, in a way that isn’t just “well she looks like a girl, fair enough”?

And 1.4% - equal to 137,876 - can not speak it at all.
