A Channel 4 News reporter asked @TiceRichard if he thought Nigel Farage’s comments from a WEEK AGO sparked the scenes in Belfast last night?
Richard Tice: “Absolutely ridiculous, outrageous…You should be ashamed of yourself!”
The best way to handle these idiotic questions. 👏🏽
Britain will over the coming months endure the biggest rise in unemployment of any major advanced economy.
That was the conclusion of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) last week, when it warned that UK joblessness will soar from 4.8pc last year to 5.5pc by the end of 2026.
When Labour took office in July 2024, unemployment was just 4.1pc. But the number of payrolled employees has since fallen in fourteen of the twenty-one subsequent months to April – with around 1.81 million now unemployed.
It is unusual, when the population is rising, for the number of payrolled jobs across the economy to fall.
But that pattern has been broken under Labour.

Reform is now the party of workers.
Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK.
We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.
The nauseating hypocrisy of E Miliband is jaw-dropping. He and his kind across the political class — Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, SNP — promoted the very energy policies that lumbered Britain with the highest industrial energy costs in the world, making industries like steel uneconomic. They tolerated no dissent from their net zero nonsense even as deindustrialisation gathered pace. And now Miliband has the audacity to pose as the saviour of British steelworkers! In truth, the British political class has shamefully failed them, none more so than net zero zealot Miliband.

"Leading economists" finally admit the UK is on course for an IMF bailout ....
Where have they been for the past 12/18 months !?!!
If our careerist, complacent "economics establishment" had started speaking out earlier, clearly warning of the dangers of ever rising borrowing and spending, the UK might now be in a much stronger position ...
Instead, we are on the brink of a proper fiscal meltdown ...

Just looking at new rates for fixing electricity and the standing charge has increased by 12p🤬
Why???
I hate the way successive governments allow us to be repeatedly ripped off just so these vultures of companies can maintain their shareholder profits
This government can’t have it both ways.
If a State Pension is being classed as a benefit then it should not be used as part of your tax allowance as benefits are non taxable.
The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer is attacking Nigel Farage for using the phrase "cold rage."
But cold rage literally means controlled, disciplined, restrained anger.
The alternative is hot rage: emotional, reactive, impulsive anger.
Farage wasn't calling for people to lose control. He was calling for the opposite.
And let's be honest: anyone claiming his speech caused unrest is ignoring reality. People angry over Henry Nowak's death were already angry before he spoke.
