1. Set up an account with someone like Hargreaves Lansdown. Put in money. Press buy.

2. You can sell bonds easily if you need the money. There's a very liquid market.

He lives in a French chateau, it seems. The Gaul of these people is breathtaking.
David Coburn, former leader of UKIP Scotland & mentioned in WhatsApp messages sent between Gill and his handler answers "no" when a journalist asks him if he took money to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.

The video of him outside his chateau is lol

It’s not a bias. It’s a transaction. Tens of millions of Ukrainian lives and the remnants of American respectability in exchange for an increase in the private fortunes of a few people.

Instead, they go "huh, lots of people seem to be using salary sacrifice schemes, let's end those" because Labour seems determined not to try to change anything major – or even moderate – but instead is set on tinkering around the edges.

I think the American public has the right to see the secret protocols of the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact. What business deals have been agreed?

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it

We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

The danger is that she takes all the pain and then just commits to an income tax rise with no reform - a buffer patch-up with no ambition beyond the immediate Excel document.

My wealth has increased by 25% since June. I have done absolutely nothing to earn this. I just put it in a tracker fund. I will be taxed on that gain at a lower rate than during the Thatcher government.
I’d pay more tax to make this country better and stop Putin in his tracks.
