Gove faced with who he is: This would be entirely funny if his actions hadn’t been responsible for a nation’s economic and geopolitical ruin. Hislop catalogues Gove’s every crime from Brexit to the VIP PPI scandal and exposes the man’s moral bankruptcy.

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.

Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.

Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

His name is Venkat.

He left Vijayawada at 24 with an engineering degree and a job offer in Toronto.

His parents stayed behind in the house where he grew up. A two bedroom flat his father had bought in 1987 on a government salary saved over fifteen years.

For twelve years Venkat sent money home every month. He visited when he could. His parents grew older. His father’s health declined.

Then one morning his mother called. His father was gone.

Venkat booked the first flight back. He handled the funeral. He stayed for a month.

Before he left he went to the bank to transfer his father’s fixed deposit into his mother’s name.

The bank asked for a Succession Certificate.

He did not know what that was.

A Succession Certificate is a court issued document that authorises a legal heir to claim the deceased’s financial assets.

Without it no Indian bank will release funds, transfer accounts or allow access to deposits.

The court process includes a mandatory 45 day public notice period. It can take 6 to 18 months.

Legal fees can run into several lakhs depending on the value of the assets.

Venkat had to fly back to Canada. His mother was alone.

His father’s savings sat frozen in a bank account she could not touch.

This happens to thousands of NRI families every year.

Here is what Venkat wished his father had done.

One. Created a registered Will naming his wife and son as heirs. A registered Will avoids the Succession Certificate process entirely for most assets.

Two. Updated nominations on every bank account, fixed deposit, insurance policy and mutual fund. A valid nomination allows the nominee to claim assets directly without any court process.

Three. Kept scanned copies of all property documents. The sale deed, encumbrance certificate and property tax receipts. Courts and registrars ask for all of them.

There is no inheritance tax in India. What you inherit is not taxed. Tax only applies if you later sell the inherited property and capital gains arise.

As an NRI you have the full legal right to inherit property in India. The law is not the problem. The paperwork is.

One conversation with your parents today can save months of grief later.

Save this. Share it with every Indian you know who is living abroad.

I hope the doubters and politicians who called for her resignation will now apologise

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.

I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.

When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.

I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.

I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC. 

I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

[JonnyUtd @Fx1Jonny]

Farage is praying you don’t watch this.

When we used to have “open borders” migrants not only could be returned if they came illegally but the legal 1’s would return home after their work visa expired.

That’s all finished now thanks to Farage’s Brexit.

[Skill of Life @skill_of_life]

Narcissistic people are the worst type of character in society. Full stop. No debate. No "but maybe they had a tough childhood" excuse. No.

They don't just hurt you once, they get inside your head, rearrange the furniture, and charge you rent for the discomfort.

They drain you slowly, quietly, strategically, then have the audacity to call you "too sensitive" when you finally break.

They don't make mistakes, they make victims. And the worst part? They never even lose sleep over it.

Watch how they operate. Charming in public, catastrophic in private.

They'll be the loudest supporter in the room until you outshine them, then suddenly you're the enemy.

They'll love you with conditions you didn't know existed until you violate one.

They'll rewrite history mid-argument, gaslight you into questioning your own memory, and somehow walk away looking like the reasonable one. It's not accidental. It's a skill. A dark, deliberate, exhausting skill.

And society? Society keeps feeding them. Keeps promoting them. Keeps mistaking their ruthlessness for leadership, their manipulation for charisma, their emotional unavailability for mystery.

We built entire industries around their aesthetics. We watch their highlight reels and call it inspiration. We excuse their behavior because they're "successful," as if success launders cruelty into something acceptable. It doesn't. It never did.

Here's what nobody tells you early enough, narcissists don't change because they don't think they need to.

You can love them harder, communicate clearer, give more, sacrifice more, bend yourself into shapes that hurt, and it will never be enough.

Because the problem was never your effort. The problem is that they see people as resources, not relationships. You were never a person to them. You were a function.

So stop waiting for the apology. Stop replaying conversations hoping to find the moment it went wrong. It went wrong the second they decided your feelings were inconvenient.

Walk away. Rebuild. Guard your peace like it's sacred, because around a narcissist, your peace is always the first casualty, and if you're not careful, it won't be the last.

I'm glad someone is calling this out. The small boats have increased after Brexit. If Farage didn't think of the consequences his actions then, what will happen if he is allowed to carry out his half baked schemes? US is an example of I'll 5hought out policiies

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER

The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT

And now in threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy - its shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters

[Shilps3 @Supershilps3]

Yesterday, at Hammersmith@#Chopstix. Delicious noodles, but v poor veg toppings. Choice of unauthentic Potato wedges or Pumpkin. That's it! Dire. How about veg stir fry? Or soya? Or Tofu?

This is why BBCQT has become irrelevant in my opinion. A failed Apprentice candidate, fired by Lord Sugar, is on the panel.

That's probably what this war is about, making rich folk even richer,

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

While the world’s media obsesses over every spit and fart from the White House over Iran, and Trump’s endless commentary on talks and deals and negotiations, the 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 war he said he would solve in 24 hours continues unabated … and in addition to benefiting from the oil price rise and lifting of sanctions Putin has also unleashed the largest 24 hour aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began. Almost 1000 drones. A UNESCO world heritage site hit. A maternity hospital hit. Residential buildings hit. Several killed. Dozens injured. Barely registers on the news. This war must not be forgotten

@implausibleblog That wouldn't be fair, landlords still have to pay the mortgage on these properties

@gudanglifehack Thank you for sharing

[John Lewis @johnlew40540571]

@implausibleblog The migrant crisis has been manufactured.
Farage/Tory Brexit caused 800,000+ per year net migration.
Torys deliberately created a 135,000 backlog of unprocessed asylum seekers.
They then conflated & weaponised both issues & blamed Labour/Liberal & the ECHR for their own policies.
