2018: Richard Tice, "George Soros doesn't live here, he doesn't pay taxes here, what right has he got to interfere with our democracy with donations?"

2024: Richard Tice, "If Elon Musk can legally donate and he feels that's the appropriate thing to do, we'd be delighted"

REVEALED: Landowners in England have been paid £9billion in 'stewardship' payments over past 30yrs - yet nature continues to decline

Large landowners should be required to publish reports showing how they are stewarding land for nature and carbon 1/

A story of grotesque corporate greed and catastrophic failure of regulation. @thameswater is now debt-ridden to the tune of more than £15 billion and has secretly lobbied Whitehall to secure huge bill hikes. Illegal sewage dumping will continue and customers will be ripped off. This is beyond farcical https://t.co/SnaLPfpnx2 @Annaisaac

A reminder that the last Conservative Government published a review just last year claiming that there had been "too much focus" on tackling threats from the far-right.

[Anna Thomas @CymraesBalch]

I still agree with this

Italy raided factories & found that Armani and Dior bags are made by illegal Chinese workers in Italy who sleep in the workshop and make €2-3/hr. Both companies have been placed under Italian court administration.

Dior paid a supplier $57 to assemble* a handbag that sells for $2,780

Armani bags that were sold to consumers for €1,800 cost €93* to make.

(These don’t include raw materials costs)

People often wrongly conflate higher prices for higher ethical standards.

Reminder that it would cost £1.3 bn to scrap the two-child poverty cap and instantly lift 250,000 kids out of poverty

JUST BEEN LEAKED NOTE BY HEAD OF TORY CAMPAIGN (the one standing in for the one on leave of absence courtesy of William Hill) MEMO ALL CANDIDATES … THE REALITY. 1. We cannot campaign on our record because nothing has improved since we took office. 2. The biggest change we made last Parliament was Brexit and we can’t campaign on that because the people who hated it hate it more and the people who liked it know we have ballsed it up. 3. We can’t campaign on our leaders because we have had five in eight years which suggests none of them were very good. 4. We can’t campaign on Labour being a risk to security and the economy because nobody can do worse than we have and anyway people seem to think @Keir_Starmer is pretty decent and he is for sure not Corbyn. 5. So LADS, all we have left is this … behave like we have lost, it’s all over bar the shouting, towel thrown in, and hope to God millions of people don’t bother to vote us out because they think somebody else will do it. I know it’s desperate and a bit anti-democratic but needs must. We’re shit and we know we are and so this is it!!! Fuck everything up. Crash the car. Make ourselves look even more unelectable and useless at campaigns. Willie Whitelaw used to talk about travelling the country stirring up apathy. That is all we have left. Do it. Talk up supermajority. I know it is meaningless but it is the only way to stop the superdefeat we all know we deserve. Cheers. Btw we’re having Sunday drinks 1pm. BYOB 🍾 🥂 ps new slogan. STAY AT HOME. DON’T VOTE. KEEP THE TORIES haha!!

The Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah has announced its shutdown after an Israeli bombing at the entrance killed two of its medical staff earlier today.

Only local field medical spots remain in the entire city.

I am really keen to read Sunak speech given the right wing media told us how important it is. Main @Conservatives site not a word. The top “latest news” was March 6. So I tried @Policy_Exchange the right wing dark money “think” tank that hosted this big speech that the right wing rags said was so important. Ah yes. Full text here it said. So I clicked. And it took me to the Number 10 site. Trouble is the full text not there either. “Please note political content redacted here” features nine times. Can someone send me the redacted bits pls?

You know all those brave anti-ULEZ warriors, raging against the machine? Guess what? It turns out they've been comprehensively duped by the machine, whipped into an anti-Establishment frenzy by the governing party's cynical manipulations. https://t.co/XCAptLqZYn

Lord Cameron has hired a £42m jet to fly round Central Asia, for 5 days in ridiculous luxury.

When James Cleverly hired the same plane last year it cost you £422,000 a day.

That's 105 people's benefits for an entire year, every single day.

It's crooks that cost you.

The Telegraph is reporting 'analysis' by a 'think tank' called the 'Centre for Migration Control'. How exciting! Can't wait to hear more about this innovative, transparent and independent organisation focusing on such an important issue for the country. Let's have a look...

Memo to Sunak - our country can't wait until 'the second half of this year' for a general election, purely because you're terrified of a thumping defeat. Our economy is on its knees, public services have been decimated, the climate is in crisis - we need a general election NOW.
