@Gwadien ,@caLLous !!

Labour urges London assembly to investigate Zack Polanski over council tax payments

Green party leader admits he may have failed to pay correct amount while living on a houseboat

www.theguardian.com

I mean, if it's good enough for Labour, it's good enough for you two, right?

Or should they be exclusively anti-Farage?

Don't tell juries that they can aquit on conscience during your summary statement, lawyers:

Palestine Action trial lawyer wins appeal against contempt of court charge

Labour MP's verdict on the new legislative agenda:

‘It’s more incrementalism’: Starmer’s safe king’s speech fails to quell mutiny

One of PM’s expanding cohort of critics in Labour party says policy programme ‘sums up where we have gone wrong’

www.theguardian.com

This sums up where we have gone wrong in the first two years in government. We talk about not going back to the status quo and then propose boosting growth by tweaking the wording of regulators’ remits.

I.E. business as usual.

If the government really wanted to keep Reform out then they'd have a stab at radical change - the radical change voters have been screaming for for a decade now.

But they ain't getting it. Labour or Tory - you get tweaks and gradual enshittification.

Again - I'm not saying Reform will be better - I don't think they will be.

But you vote for Labour or Tory in FPTP, then this shit is what you're guaranteed.

Who needs Wall Street when you have Wes Street? Anyway, what a bunch of clowns. The bar for doing better than the Tories was so low, and they've somehow managed to duck under it, and are surprised that the electorate is voting with their feet.

@Gwadien - where should Farage stand on this:

Farage criticised for backing preacher who says homosexuality is ‘abomination’

Reform UK leader records video with Essex pastor to support his battle against council banning order

www.theguardian.com

Considering it's the teaching of the Church?

 

[Raven]

Farage can stand for whatever he likes, he has 4mil to spend on security, after all.

For the billionaire who gave him £5m that's like giving a mate a few hundred quid.

I guess dem's the circles eh? Good that they're properly looking into it, as they should.

I'm with them on one thing though - we should be in on crypto, instead of the rounding of the wagons of the corrupt and closed shop fractional reserve banking system.

I think considering the Far Right has taken up Christianity more recently (with calls to crusade etc) I think it would be wise of him not to associate himself with such figures.

Farage/Reform have repeatedly said they're not racist, Islamophobic, homophobic etc so it seems like a bit of an own goal.

No thanks.

Is there any picture or story where he doesn't come across as a scumbag:

Nigel Farage says £5m gift a reward for Brexit campaigning

The Reform UK leader, who is facing a Commons standards probe, said he "cannot be bought by anybody".

It annoys me how this seems to be accepted by many people. If it was for personal security than why didn't the billionaire simply employ those security people himself?

 

[Tom]

Wow, so much security: https://news.sky.com/story/nigel-fa...h-crypto-billionaire-sky-news-learns-13543909

I think it's the Guardian smearing by association.

We all know that religion is racist, sexist and homophobic - but unless we are to ban religion, they should be free to spout their hateful bile.

That way the whole country can see what they're *actually* about.
