Farage is a long-time friend of several powerful men in the Epstein Files including Bannon, Trump & Musk - some with v serious allegations against them - he has questions to answer.
The UK/US hard right are working to collapse the British Govt, we mustn't dance to their tune.
NEW: If HMRC delay you, they can repay you.
Under Reform, if youโre stuck on the phone to HMRC for 30 mins, youโll get a ยฃ30 tax credit at the end of the year.
We will restore basic fairness to the taxpayer.
There's a much better way Robert. It's called just getting on and fixing things.
At the time of the election the average wait on HMRC phone lines was 24 minutes.
In recent months, it has been around 10 minutes.
This is because Labour invested in HMRC customer services & because Ministers, myself included, drove forward big internal reforms that increased digital contact and sped up answer times.
Better to have Labour Ministers improving things than Reform pretenders with policy gimmicks!
I'm being attacked in various parts of the media today for receiving money from X. I would like to invite those same journalists to Great Yarmouth to see how my entire net MP salary is given to local charities in our community.
Some of the causes I have donated to...
- Great Yarmouth Community First Responders
- St Mary Magdalene Church
- Hemsby Lifeboat
- Phoenix Karate Schools
- Martham Boat Dyke Trust (helping young people get skilled qualifications)
- Shine, a local charity helping children with special educational needs and disabilities
- A graffiti clean up
- Belton Scouts Group
- Caister Lifeboat
- Great Yarmouth Pathway Cafe & Support Centre (food bank)
- Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, ensuring everyone could access a poppy for free.
- Great Yarmouth Sea Cadets
- East Coast Truckers (helping disabled children)
- Great Yarmouth Minister (repairing a church window)
- St Elizabeth Hospice
- Centre 81 Dementia Programme
- Louise Hamilton Trust (end of life care)
- Local football club
- A Heart2Heart lifesaving defibrillator
Each and every month this money is donated - I made a promise during the election, and I am keeping that promise.
I am NOT in politics for the money.
If I wanted to increase my bank balance? TRUST ME - I would not be doing this.
Roughly ยฃ100k donated since the election, and I will continue to do so. As promised to my constituents.
If those journalists want to take up the offer and see how that money has been spent, they know where to find me.
Great to see the FT exclusive that shows the average Russell Group alumnus with a plan 2 student loan still owes more than ยฃ50,000.
A decade after leaving and after continuous payments every single month, the high interest means I still owe more than I borrowed - ยฃ45,000+.
I wrote about it in The Sunday Times - explaining why working class students like me end up having to pay the most to go to university - have a read:

Massive well done to all the organisers and volunteers, to Burnley Council and the sponsors. It's so wonderful seeing our community come together; eating, laughing, playing music, having fun together in the park - very proud โค๏ธ
โ MattGPT โ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Ardayโs death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing.
The term โwitch huntโ is overused in politics. Perhaps not this time. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves some serious questions as to whether the tenor and volume of the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are questions for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.
