There are ~200 berths at Lee Valley Marina

Over 35 years, with normal turnover, that’s around 1,000 boats

Dan Neidle revealed: only 1 ever registered for council tax

Zack Polanski was one of the 999 who didn’t realise the rules applied. The council never chased anyone there. He’s now contacting them to sort any shortfall

What was sold as “Zack Polanski dodging council tax” is actually a story about hundreds of boaters not understanding the rules, not paying, and a council not enforcing them

A genuine mistake that’s being fixed

So why has the media turned this into a full scandal suggesting he’s a tax avoider?

This isn’t journalism — it’s a coordinated effort to tarnish Polanski over an error that 998 others at the same marina over 35 years also made

Meanwhile, barely a peep about Nigel Farage’s £5m from his foreign crypto billionaire backer

Double standards much?

[Withnail Jones @withnailjones]

I’m hearing that Andy Burnham has purchased a meal deal at WH Smith in Euston station. Beth, Sam and Sophy are en route to ask the checkout assistant what flavour crisps he chose.

Meanwhile Nigel Farage trousered a £5m bung and didn’t declare it.

Back to the crisps story.

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

I’ve never before been as worried about the BBC’s news reporting. The last government’s efforts to capture it are bearing fruit. It’s intent on discrediting any Labour government, be it Starmer���s or a successor’s. The refusal to investigate Farage’s £5m is otherwise inexplicable.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!

About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!

It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

[Madelaine Hanson @MadelaineLucyH]

David Barker, the newly elected Reform councillor in Sunderland, battered his girlfriend senseless and BURNT HIS CHILD WITH CIGARETTES.

But they want to protect us, right?

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

Good for the Obsever for leading on this.

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

if a green had said this we’d have six weeks of rolling coverage, three statements from the prime minister and a COBRA meeting

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Keir Starmer today officially announced he would not fondle Trump's balls.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Tweet of the year?

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

America launched its biggest war in the Middle East in 20 years, evidently, on the advice of two real estate guys and a former Fox News host……

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth.

A real estate developer. A television host. And the president’s son-in-law.

Not intelligence chiefs. Not military command.

The Middle East 🔥 and the global economy now lives with the consequences of that advice.

[Jamie Kay @TheRealJamieKay]

Just a video of Nigel Farage being busted on national TV.

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

The craziest thing about the price of Oil doubling in one week is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED.

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

This is the image that will define this war - 165 young Iranian girls, killed while at school, who are mere ‘collateral damage’ to an out of control US-Israeli war machine.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

What they’re basically saying is that Starmer and the UK isn’t allowed to operate an even moderately independent foreign policy outside of the United States. That is both ahistoric, wrong and weird for people who constantly tell us how sovereignty is what matters most.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

This stupid jackass actually said "No President was willing to do what I'm willing to do."

That's right, because he didn't get approval from Congress to wage war on Iran, so it's ILLEGAL, and no other President had a pedo scandal he needed a war to distract from.

IMPEACH HIM.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Today the daily mail lost.

GB news lost.

The BBC lost.

The Telegraph and the times lost.

The establishment lost.

The racists lost.

The people won 🔥

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
