Richard Tice’s property firm “aggressively” avoided some £600,000 in corporation tax after adopting rare legal status.

Reform deputy leader’s Guernsey listed Quidnet Reit Ltd paid nothing in corporation tax on multi-million pound profits for most of 2018 to 2021.

Culture war latest: the Bank of England has announced that after a public consultation, to which it received 44,000 responses, the next new banknotes will feature native wildlife.

Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.

The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.

Get ready to be annoyed when petrol prizes go up and a) a bunch of politicos declare the government's poll ratings have gone down because Starmer didn't go in with the US on Iran and b) a bunch of politicos who support the war blame the government for increased energy costs.

Reform have misspelt 2 out of the 3 Welsh words on their manifesto for Wales.

Nigel Farage and Wales leader Dan Thomas proudly held up the manifesto at the launch yesterday.

On the front cover it reads "Family, community, country," which has been translated to "Teulu, gymnued, wlad."
