The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.
So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

This would require 10% of the UK police force to ride around on trains all day, even if their shift covered the 18+hrs a day the rail network operates. Jeremy gets a few shiny coins he no longer needs during the only life he'll ever have making viewers already angry at the wrong people even angrier.

Same with the BBC World Service. A ridiculous approach, given the minimal amounts involved in the public spending scheme of things. Sigh.
British Governments do not understand "soft power". See also restricting BBC Sounds to the UK (and the BBC making the BBC world channel visibly the cheapest of all the international channels)
Literally one of the greatest soft power brands on planet earth driven into the ground by successive British governments that embrace failure, decline and irrelevance.

LOL -- Trump is now claiming he's about to secure 21 TRILLION DOLLARS of investments so far in his second term. His fake number keeps going up and up almost daily, and the entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so yeah, he's full of it.

Kevin Hassett's theory of tariffs: "China has got to sell a lot of stuff to us to maintain political stability. And so if we put a tariff on their stuff, then they cut the price so that our consumer is basically still able to demand as much stuff as they need to sell to be politically stable."

Mass deportations of legal immigrants are now the standard policy of the Tories. Very grim. And "mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" to me sounds more like a racist megaphone than a racist dog whistle.
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam
She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)
