In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Which SHOULD be the bigger news scandal of the last 5days?

Greg Wallace when accused of sexual misconduct, called them "middle-class women of a certain age".

Nigel Farage when asked about his MP beating up his girlfriend: "You've had your fun, Sky News. I'm off to lunch."

Which has more coverage?

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration.

And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA

Nigel Farage works for nomadcapitalist.com which helps millionaires/billionaires get 2nd/3rd citizenships in the UK while using Tax Havens so they don't pay any tax.

Nigel Farage loves immigration and tax avoidance, he even earns money from it.

Once again it all appears to have been happening in plain sight among his retinue and once again - because the offender was rich, powerful and feared - he got away with it and never faced the courts.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

As Health Secretary Matt Hancock sent Covid infected patients into Care Homes with zero protection for other residents leading to 30,000-40,000 deaths.

Now at the Covid inquiry he blames Nicola Sturgeon.

He and Johnson should be in court.

Remember all those endless stories about the 'scandal' of Labour making political appointments to temporary civil service posts after the election?

Well a new independent Civil Service Commission report finds that such appointments were "considerably" higher under the last Conservative government.

21% of the UK population or 14.3 million people live in relative poverty. Maybe we should talk about them for a change rather than the tax concerns of Jeremy Clarkson's wealthy children
