Fiona Cottrell gave £1.075m to Richard Tice's Britain Means Business company in June 2024, which then went on to hand £500k to Reform. At year-end, the company had net assets of just £10,578, and just one member of staff. It makes Britain Means Business look like a clearing house...

What the f**k are any serving politicians doing at a party with Murdock, Piers Morgan & Paul Dacre, especially when haunted by the ghost of McSweeney past?!? And we wonder why the UK gutter press has so much influence!?!

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comThe UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George MonbiotIt took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!
