More arrogant rich elite joining party of the people! The rich have the same priorities as working people don't they?
Property tycoon Nick Candy has joined Reform as their Treasurer. He is perhaps best known for partying during lockdown, so he should fit right in.

Tommy Robinson has been ordered to pay £50,000 in court costs.
Now they need to go after all the money he has grifted from being in jail, you aren't allowed to profit from the proceeds of crime.

This is how you spot a racist.
Oxford Uni sent out 3,200 jobs applications, changing only the names on the CVs.
Ethnic minority names had to send 70-90% more applications than white ones to get a reply.
Farage did nothing.
1 job excludes white people
Farage sounds the alarm.

I feel safer now.
Alcoholic sexual offender, Pete Hegseth, treated funds for the Koch-backed group Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) and the “AstroTurf” Vets for Freedom (VFF) like his own private bank accounts and ran them into bankruptcy - so let’s give him 820 billion and all the weapons and see what happens.
Trump still wants to force Pete Hegseth on America even though he's a womanizer with a drinking problem who's never run anything larger than a Koch Brothers backed political organization.
What could possibly go wrong?

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”

House Republicans actually voted today to block the US Senate from receiving their report containing sworn witness testimony and documentary evidence about the nominee for Attorney General of the United States paying a child $10,000 for sex.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻♂️
