I read that his explanation was that it was an 'administrative error' by his team. If they can't cope (practically or ethically) with something as simple as listing his income, how on earth do Reform voters think he'll run the country if elected?

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.
He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.
Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.
Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

If Trump invades Greenland and NATO collapses, it seems to me this might be the time for a European initiative to build PUBLICLY owned alternatives to the major US oligarch owned tech platforms (X, Meta, Amazon, Paypal, Insta, etc). We need to become independent of them.

No means no isn't something Trump listens to... when a child says it, or when an entire country says it.
There was an attempt to try and distract people from the Epstein files...

I've been fascinated with collapse of empires since i worked for 6 yrs as a tour guide in Rome. This is a good overview of why the US, far from being mighty, is actually nearing collapse right now. What happens afterwards though? How will it fragment?

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

I don't the US will be safe until they make significant political and societal changes. Not just Trump, but the guns, the corruption, the medical system.
And the rest of us won't be safe until we change international relations from US dominance and meddling/coups to equal multilateral cooperation.

It's really about whether we want a future where countries cooperate internationally to stop global problems (like children affected by conflict, pest pandemics or climate chaos) or one where we hunker down like mad max/mediaeval war lords with their serfs. Trump & Putin want the latter of course..

Not entirely sure why he's wearing a cagoule for this press event, but it's important.
I wonder what Greenland would say about closer alignment and even unity between the EU and Canada as a way of protecting them trans-Arctic?

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

I believe in international peace, laws and cooperative, but if there is an era of hunkering down seems to me most that Europe and Canada should combine into one trans-Arctic entity, to protect Greenland and peaceful shipping once the Arctic inevitably thaws.
"What evidence is there that hitting back would cost more? The most frequently mentioned fear is that if Europe stops kissing the ring, the US will stop supporting Ukraine. That raises the question of how much support the US has left to withdraw."
Europe should embrace the idea of going it alone
The more the EU has to pay for ingratiation with Trump, the less convincing its strategic rationale for doing so

I really believe that as the mismanagement of Reform councils, their distasteful links with Russia and Trump and their calls for a UK version of the murderous ICE become better known, their ratings will inevitably fall.

Reform UK have failed at all their Local Election campaign pledges:
➡️ They criticised councils for raising council tax, now they are.
➡️ They criticised councils for cutting services, they are.
➡️ They said they would fix potholes, they are failing at that.
