It is a deeply personal account of the process and a sorry state of affairs. We have never used ‘ignorance’ as an excuse though and IMO it’s not appropriate here., She sought the advice of lawyers not tax experts. She can’t hide behind that.

I do wonder what goes through their minds. Wake up… let’s have an idea to keep migration in the headlines. And Lets make sure it is really nasty and/or stupid Because - there is no one else doing that is there?
Excellent. Polanski today called Farage a racist and said Statmer’s politics were despicable. Labour response - he doesn’t support NATO. They haven’t a clue The public need to hear it a la Polanski or Maguire.
There are other ways of looking at Starmer’s comments here He says he ‘gets’ people’s concerns. Doesn’t say - he agrees He says he doesn’t want hotels in towns and is completely at one with it. That could be because he wants to have none. Just saying
This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.
Enjoyed the updates Great result It’s getting a bit giddy now
that Irish woman is braver and more honorable than entire governments. She stood with us. She raised her voice when the world stayed silent. And what did she get in return? Beaten. Silenced. Attacked.
Woman protesting against kids and familes getting murdered in Gaza gets battered by the police. The world is seriously fucked up at the moment.
Worried about today’s game. Mind you I always am
Did Newcastle discover their opponents too?
Just wondering why you don’t attend and hijack the banquet with a speech. Imagine the impact
🔴 These two charts expose Nigel Farage’s immigration myths You know how bad the lies have been when you realise people think asylum seekers cost more than *state pensions*
Great data Sadly irrelevant - perception always trumps reality. The battle has been lost - the last government and, especially, this one should be hanging their heads in shame.
@bylinetimes.bsky.social Its just landed in my house. Curious about the headline ‘Lawless Britain’? I’m sure most of your readers are discerning but the headline usually matters. I think you have missed the mark here. Hope it’s careless - not deliberate for click bait - didn’t sign up for that
Great to see Sunderland battered
Just another lying sneaky powerful corrupt white guy.
Another good move
Looks like a good signing
A moment if I may Philp did answer the question by saying hotel usage dropped from 400 to 250 at the end of Tory rule. Going on to say there would be no hotels if that rate of decline continued. I’m as anti Tory as they come -but if the first bit is true - it’s a fair answer to the question asked.
I’m in too
It would be lovely to see/hear the great people of Redcar rally round this family.
If this gets going can you please share I can understand if the family want to keep a low profile though. Just hope the good folk of Redcar rally round them There are some great people up there
Just stop this - I’m too old to get giddy. A great start - so happy for him and the 000’s emotionally invested.
Dreadful by America. What next? A state visit invite for Trump to the UK? Surely not
Used to enjoy it - all a bit glossy now. The Strugglers, Morning Star, Organ Grinder (new) and Cardinals Hat are the standard bearers for proper pubs (IMO, obviously)
Not even in the top 3 within 5 minutes walk
In fairness, £1 gets you a big shop in Iceland.
You are aware judges don’t sentence someone if they are found innocent? If not, you are now
Trump doesn’t even know what day of the week it is. He’s got no chance of knowing about VJ Day
Heartwarming
Just ‘our freedom’ eh? The Palestinians can just do one.
We have forgotten them and all they stood for - until someone comes out once a year to say we haven’t. Behaviours always trump words
Just a shame the team didn’t have the heart to cut to the chase. Just treat her with contempt next time.
Especially the guy arrested with the “Plasticine Action” banner
The quote from the justice minister ‘These people will face the full force of the law’ It’s reassuring our police have everything else under control so they can throw resource and time at these aged terrorists……..
I’d arrest that sneering lying selfish man in a heartbeat
STOP USING INSTAGRAM STOP USING FACEBOOK STOP USING TWITTER
@jezcox.bsky.social got to Matty B today. Made a pigs ear of it yesterday so will get it right today.
What do you call an English guy mauled by a Lion Claud
They are crisp is not chips
Trans people aren’t the issue, immigrants aren’t the issue. Your life is shit because of billionaires, who brainwash you into hating or blaming scapegoats so you won’t turn on them. If you buy their bullshit, well done, you’re about as intellectually advanced as a medieval serf.
Good when fit tho - and, we might need him
It was mad wasn’t it? No due diligence whatsoever and injuries galore.
I suspect you don’t remember George Best boots. The first, and maybe only, boots with a revolving sole.
If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.
Errr, just how small is this business minister?
He isn’t splitting the vote. He is presenting an option - like Green, Lib Dem, Tory and Reform. Voters choose - that’s our current democracy.
Got to say (I’m not naturally drawn to a Labour/Left split) - JC definitely connects emotionally. In today’s world that is huge. Food for thought for met
Telling me to Fuck Off = few harsh words. And, I’m the problem. You are just another twitter troll on here hiding behind a keyboard.
Must be the shortest podcast ever. It’s simply ‘No’ Read the message boards - just doom and gloom. Worst comments written for a very long time.
This is all a bit ‘twitter’ - you best pop off over there and take your abuse with you
Of course - but as of yesterday we had no hope. Now we do - surely a good thing?
For balance - credit where it is due? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
There will be even fewer travelling soon - when he tracks down those who have made these videos. Be careful
Here’s an idea for the autumn budget, Labour. You’re welcome.
This click bait approach is really getting annoying. Paragraph 1 of the report says the NHS is the biggest concern for voters. Look at the headline though observer.co.uk/news/politic...
These guesses are just a bit daft really. I do wonder what the point is? This time after the last election Labour were written off for at least 10 years and certainly no chance of being elected this time.
This sounds like a bit of wordplay. Technically, I get it. There is a ‘but’ If they didn’t take our money they wouldn’t be able to keep asking the BOE to create spending headroom. What am I missing ?
Funny and yet horrifically true summing up. Do watch; they’re very good at what they do.

Maybe next time I’ll say what I really mean?
Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard! (1/2)
It’s not worth the risk anymore. Please take this as formal notice I’m cancelling my subscription and replace with The Daily Mail.
Got my support last time. They have got this one wrong. It’s not all about them
Don’t mess with Keir - you will lose the whip for that
Good Luck my friend. I have made a donation. Very best wishes to you, your friends and family
How did it take so long to catch her - She just looks the part
Felt sorry for him today. Sad
Between 2019 and 2024, Reform received more than 90% of its funding, £2.3 million, from individuals and companies linked to polluting industries and climate science denial.
I get it and…. Appreciate the conversation
There is always ‘what about’. Doing something is better than doing nothing but worse than doing everything. Can’t recall anyone trying the latter. On that basis I’m prepared to say fair play to Vylan and Keecap - and the millions of others who are trying to be heard on The Palestine issue.
They don’t claim to be moral philosophers. Just people who care about kids and families being massacred in Palestine. A bit of kindness wouldn’t go amiss.
No you don’t have to give it to the police officers. They could have just ignored it and looked to support the public where other real offences were taking place. They didn’t have to stop - they chose to.
White House Evacuated After Trans Alarm Goes Off
FFS - what have we become. These are the scenes normally reserved for Russia, North Korea.
That lady neither looked nor talked like James O Brien. She has a good point, at least I thought so
Could do with a bit of help from the good people of Blue Sky. Whenever I discuss this (IMO) stupid decision I get met with…. ‘Yeah, but what about attacking a police officer with a sledgehmmer’. I’ve got It’s still an investigation There are already laws for this Am I missing anything?
Superimpose Bob Vylan on him
They will come early. Greg Wallace will lead anti woke marches after signing up for Reform……
Don’t get me wrong - he is a nasty lying bastard
Bit harsh - most journos would do that. I see where you are coming from tho.
Not sure Morgan has done anything wrong here. Owen has quite rightly called out genocide supporters manipulating the interview and …basically, lying - to score points again.
Gave up our 2 cars 14 months ago. Live in a small city (Lincoln) so day to day is easy. Train routes are not the best but it’s not been a problem. Hired a car twice in that time (just for an overnight) Can’t see us going back to cars.
You could be right - I thought there was a comment along the lines of they were due to be interviewed then disappeared.
The Observer was reporting. The question is do we trust the lady who told us she was embezzled of over £60k, the police who acted, neurologists who question his miracle cure, the picture of the house in France Or, do we believe the two people who got filthy rich on the back of their true story.
Another pair of grifters leaving debts behind and giving false hope to those with a serious medical diagnosis. Then they get filthy rich off the proceeds of a pack of lies.
A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
Young women arrested and hauled away by their hair at a candle lit vigil for Sarah Everard. People arrested with a blank placard in case they wrote ‘Not my King’ Now this. Nothing to worry about
Welcome to our dystopian world. What are we becoming. Anti terrorism my arse Arrests after protest in support of Palestine Action, police say www.bbc.com/news/article...
Oh bugger. The Ballymena lot will riot again. ‘Immigrants coming over here saving lives’
The problem is the ‘F’ in IDF is really hard to find a rhyme for. If they were named the IDB, we would have had ‘wee, wee on the IDB’ It still wouldn’t have been anti semitic, we still wouldn’t have all gone over and peed on them and there would have been no outrage. Well, maybe not.
I don’t hate him It’s weird isn’t it. I make a comment and you assume I hate. ‘Hate’ is for others - not me
He’s bothered about your attention. And that’s the point I was making. I’m not But, thanks for being attentive in this instance
He can’t be wrong. It’s an opinion. IMO - it’s a personal rant with no evidence. Don’t see the point in it myself. By all means be critical - give the reasons and try and be fair. This binary approach (Starmer is bad) doesn’t work for some of us.
No, you are wrong. But, hey ho
Yes, I follow him and sometimes agree with him. When he just goes off on one it’s usually for clicks.
Hang on….. You can’t be reasonable and just say that. You have to get all cross and fig your heels in. It’s the only way you know.
Oh, bless. Owen needs some attention
14 seconds in. The only time Starmer loses eye contact throughout the interview. When he says …. ‘She’s done an excellent job’
One of my micro campaigns these days is to highlight what a seriously nasty piece of work Douglas Carswell is. A couple of reminders on Sam's Substack today....
