A few people asking about Reform UK's proposal to increase the personal allowance to £15k.

Their maths appear to be out by about £2bn, and they may accidentally be creating a new top marginal rate of 69.5%.

Nigel Farage says Reform didn't commission the polls.

Here’s the crucial segment of our film.

Verbatim went undercover in Reform. Nigel Farage has some very serious questions to answer 👇

JJ Watts and I filming, & having some photos we look like twins!
I'm the one on the left. Lovely to take part in filming the launch of the new Burnley FC Away Kit.
JJ has put a huge amount of time and effort in to making this new kit incredibly special!

Today marks one year without Alexei Navalny. I've said this one year ago and would like to say it again:

Alexei was murdered. Murdered by Putin.

It doesn't matter at all what the official cause of death is, and it matters even less what is written in the official documents. Alexei had a true political talent. He knew how to fire people up, how to find the right words even in seemingly hopeless situations, how to support his followers and maintain enthusiasm and hope for a better future.

These are the qualities that made Alexei Russia's leading politician. These are the qualities needed by politicians of a democratic Russia. These are the qualities the authorities feared. These are the qualities Alexei was killed for..

@Conservatives YOUR system failed them.
You've been in power for FOURTEEN YEARS.
Gaslighting and the Tories go hand in hand AGAIN
You didn't action a single recommendation of the public inquiry when you were in power.
You and Reform have taken politics in this country to record lows.

When private Healthcare comes to the UK, are you going bankrupt?

Or are you dying?

The good news for the “Call a General Election” people is that there will be one in 4 years & 7 months time
It’s the benefit of living in a parliamentary democracy

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This is the truth about Labour's Budget and farmers.

[I Am Incorrigible also on Bluesky, threads & masto @ImIncorrigible]

Honestly, if I hear another Tory claim that they handed Labour "the fastest growing economy in the G7" again, I think my head will explode.

It's BS.

Obviously.

'They are taking the mickey!'

@mrjamesob reacts to the Royal Family's 'obviously egregious and completely indefensible' receipt of millions in rent income from the NHS, schools, and the armed forces.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

SHOCKING
Sunday @thetimes & #Dispatches investigation into the grubby & secretive earnings of the Royal Family

Incl charging huge rents to Marie Curie & Macmillan charities WHICH THEY'RE PATRONS OF & which WE donate to. They get the money!

The list is long

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

This Channel4 Dispatches on the royals is UNREAL…

The rank profiteering

The conflicts of interest

The fact that they are exempt from paying corporation tax, inheritance tax & capital gains tax

They’re not even obliged to pay income tax

…and they even charged FOR AIR!!!

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

The Sunday Times has uncovered every plot of land owned by the ancient Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall and the business deals with the NHS, schools and military that help fund the royals

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Watching the #Dispatches documentary about the SUBSTANTIAL Royal profits from public buildings and even the MoD. They’ve tried to hide this shit for YEARS.

Whipsiderry beach is in itself a scandal.

They’re robbing us blind and yet get our money and pay sod all tax? Fuck this.
