Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

@Arden_2210 Four.

[John Roucker @Johnisnotjoker]

Has @Nigel_Farage personally sued Ben Habib yet?

Has @Nigel_Farage reported his "hacked" phone to the proper authorities yet?

Has @Nigel_Farage answered how his girlfriend afforded that house in Clacton yet?

Has @Nigel_Farage settled on a lie for that £5 million yet?

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Michael Grade doing the rounds today pontificating about reality TV. Can someone please ask how and why he allowed GB News to become the personal propaganda machine for Nigel Farage when he was chair of @Ofcom ?

Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful?

​Let’s look at the facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.

You pressured Ukraine by cutting off weapons support entirely, constantly badmouthing us, and showing up at our doorstep waving Russian "peace plan" you demanded we sign immediately.

​And now, after Ukraine stands more firmly on its feet without your support, you realize you can't pressure us anymore. So your excuse is that you are tired and leaving?

​How about, for once, you actually support the victim, which is Ukraine instead of terrorist Russian regime? Send your team to Kyiv, support our fight, and apply real pressure on aggressor.

Sanction Russia and seize their shadow fleet instead of handing out sanction waivers. Do that, and maybe negotiations will magically become "fruitful."

@rob44604830 @reformexposed I think you will find that people with no party political axe to grind care a great deal.
By making that comment you sound like the sort of mendacious individual that would back Donald Trump, despite his continual grift and well-documented lies.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?”

Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

@AstroMikeMerri "That would be an ecumenical matter..." 😉

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet.

Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire.

It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

[Stuart St.John @stustjohn]

This perfectly encapsulates my musings on this issue over the past week 🎯

[Brendan May @bmay]

Man’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.

[Stuart St.John @stustjohn]

@an50233675 @PWestoff Wow! Now your true nature is revealed. You're not averse to a bit of indoctrination, as long as it's your views that are being indoctrinated. If anyone disagrees too much you lock them up? Nice.

[Stuart St.John @stustjohn]

@an50233675 @PWestoff What a load of unhinged balderdash!

What is this "leftist/green indoctrination" of which you speak? I have worked in English state schools for over 25 years and I have no idea what you are talking about.

[Stuart St.John @stustjohn]

@PWestoff I have absolutely no idea what my engineering lecturers' political leanings might have been! To be honest, though, you don't sound like someone who might be interested in actual data. You sound as though you have already made up your mind.

[Michael Merrifield @AstroMikeMerri]

@PWestoff Changing your mind implies a willingness to have your mind changed, but, FWIW, I managed to spend thirty years teaching undergraduates without ever once discussing politics with them, let alone trying to indoctrinate them.

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

More deranged attacks on the domestic renewable energy getting Britain through yet another fossil fuel crisis.

Wind turbines manufactured at the @Siemens factory in Hull are keeping the lights on and right-wingers can’t take it because their job is to make you hate Britain.

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Your enemy arrives by private jet not a small boat.

Farage literally is part of the establishment.

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.
