EXCL: George Cottrell was routinely introduced as Nigel Farage’s chief of staff before the 2024 election despite denials he had any official role @BenQuinn75 reveals.

It comes after @Gabriel_Pogrund & co reported that Cottrell had given out a business card with his name on and an official email address for Farage.

Both challenge claims he is purely a personal friend of the Reform UK leader, who therefore didn't need to report the support he had received from him.

BBC: "have you ever been to Clacton?"

@CountBinface: "no, because I understand from the current incumbent that is part of how you do the job."

Nigel Farage keeps saying his expenses are zero.

Yet another lie.

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

The Sunday Times has already reported that:

- Richard Tice's company broke the law by failing to pay at least £90k in tax

- That his shell companies failed to pay £100k of tax, benefitting his firm, which donated to Reform

- That he used a loophole to avoid £600k

He furiously denounced our reporting: now it transpires the web of companies was involved in transactions with George Cottrell and Cottrell's mother, who, we reported in our piece on Sunday, described herself in legal documents as a "retired stylist" - and has made £750,000 of donations to Reform.

I have been the victim of an establishment stitch-up! Dark forces are conspiring to get me out of politics. These mysterious forces have done this by:
-making me hide a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire then lobby the Bank of England on behalf of crypto billionaires
-forcing me to let a convicted fraudster pay for my staff and security while I have free use of his house
-tricking me into buying two houses for cash
-making me say I bought a house in Clacton then making me change my mind and say my girlfriend bought it, even though she couldn’t afford it, because that meant I would save £44,000 in tax.
I trust this clarifies once and for all how I am very much the innocent party in all this.

This is the sort of mark up that is added to drugs in America.

We must never allow our NHS to be driven by profit.

It’s genuinely tragic that this country has a stupid fat fuck MP who posts videos of himself eating bacon sarnies everyday in the hope it will make imagined Muslim Brits uncomfortable.

This is the caliber of the people governing us, it’s a joke.

Someone has to say it.

The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - on this platform is out of control.

We cannot allow a vile vocal minority to divide our nation. A lot of this content is illegal and Ofcom should be investigating.

Solidarity with every player targeted. We are united.

20 year old student Edith Berryman at the #RejoinEU rally in parliament square calling for the UK to rejoin the European Union @MarchForRejoin

"10 years since the Brexit referendum. I am 20 years old. I have grown up living with the consequences of that decision. I have a simple question. Did Brexit deliver what we were promised? My argument is simple."

"Brexit has had a real measurable economic cost. Not just in political arguments, but in productivity, investment and living standards, not just one opinion or one forecast."

"This is the conclusion we keep seeing across UK institutions and independent research. The question is not what people believed in 2016. The question is what can we learn from the evidence shown in 2026?"

"And the evidence is clear. Firstly, in productivity, this again doesn't come from one political campaign or one think tank. This comes from the UK government, government's own Office for Budget Responsibility. Their estimate is that Brexit reduces long term, UK productivity by around 4% compared to staying in the EU."

"And more recent academic work shows that figure even higher to around 6 to 8%. To put it simply, a smaller economy than we otherwise would have had. Secondly, investment. Because countries don't just grow by accident, they grow because business."

"This creates, invests and builds for the future. Business investment in the UK fell sharply after the referendum and has remained weaker than expected ever since. Independent studies estimate it is around 10 to 15% lower than it would have been without Brexit."

"And that matters because investment means jobs, it means wages, it means opportunities for the next generation, the younger generation, my generation, alph."

"They estimate this loss in productivity translates into around 470 pounds per worker per year in lower wages over time, not just for today, but for years ahead. Thirdly, living standards."

"Because this is where the debate stops being about statistics and it becomes real people's everyday lives. Research from institutions like the London School of Economics has found that Brexit related trade barriers increased costs in everyday goods, including food, contributing to higher household bills."

"And some estimates suggest it could amount to around 250 pounds a year for the average household. And the Resolution foundation has found over, the long term, real wages are lower than they otherwise would have been expected to be. So when you put all three together, products, investment, living standards, you do not get one political slogan, you do not get one isolated focus."

"You get a consistent picture from official institutions and independent research. And the question then becomes, how did we get here from what we were promised? Because this isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet."

"Behind every percentage point is a real life. It's about whether young people can afford a home, whether your business can grow, whether families feel like their wages are, going further. I think the biggest issue here is Trust."

"In 2016, people were asked to make one of the biggest decisions in modern British history. They were promised that leaving would mean more control, more money and a stronger future. People were told, on the side of a bus, that leaving the EU would free up 350 million pounds a week for the NHS."

"But now, 10 years on, we have to be honest about the gap between what was promised and what actually happened. Because democracy, it doesn't depend on everyone getting every decision right. Democracy depends on us being willing to look at the evidence afterwards and ask, did this work?"

"What can we learn and what should we do next? Ten years ago, Britain chose a new direction. Today, we have the chance to choose what comes next. Not based on nostalgia, not based on slogans, not based on fear."

"Based on reality. And, the future isn't built on ignoring the evidence, is built by facing it. So the question for 2026 is, now that we know the cost, what should we do next? Thank you very much."

Fair enough.

[IslamophobiaUK @uk_islamophobia]

Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.

You probably didn’t hear about it.

Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.

Both from Bradford.

They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.

Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:

"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."

Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:

"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."

Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.

Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.

They deserved every word.

But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.

We have seen this before.

Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.

Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.

LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.

He ran towards the blade.

A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.

This is the pattern.

When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.

When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.

Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.

Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.

One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."

He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.

They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.

They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.

The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.

"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32

Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.

Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.

And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.

When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.

When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.

Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.

Muslim men.

Say both.
