On the one hand, I’m impressed that this is taken so seriously, fraud is fraud, no matter how big or small.
On the other, had this been a Reform or Tory MP this would have been played as “teenage hijinks” or “it wasn’t even an iPhone” and turned into a weeks long defence of unacceptable behaviour.

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition...

Fishermen left feeling 'betrayed' by Brexit
'Brexit was sold to our fishermen as a golden opportunity, yet the truth is that many fishermen have experienced the complete opposite'

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

● Jaguar Land Rover adds £10bn annually to the UK economy
● Employs 11,000 people in the UK
● Creates thousands more jobs in supply chain reliant on it
● And Grandad Nigel wants them to go bust because he doesn't like the ads.
Why do YOU think he doesn't like them?

The great patriot doesn’t like the new Jaguar advert, so he hopes they go bust. What a horrid man.

A lot of talk again about need for economic growth but no mention that the OBR report the government is quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the country’s potential economic performance. I’m sure Sundays politics shows will be all over it
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
