Mr Kwarteng, who controls a 5.4 per cent stake in Stack together with his wife, Harriet, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Nigel Farage and Blockchain.com become strategic investors in Stack. Nigel's unwavering support for British business and belief that Bitcoin is set to rapidly expand its role in finance is perfectly aligned with the company's ethos and business plans." Mr Farage has taken a 6.3 per cent stake in a Bitcoin reserve business led by Mr Kwarteng (PA)

Reform UK last year pledged to slash red tape and cut taxes on cryptocurrencies and set up a bitcoin reserve fund if elected, which would allow people to pay tax in the cryptocurrency. The Treasury recently announced legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in a similar way to that of other finance products. This follows efforts to overhaul the market, which has grown in popularity in recent years as an alternative investment product and a way of making payments. The UK's financial regulator has nonetheless warned that it is a "high risk" investment and that people could "lose all their money" from the asset.

Kwarteng and Farage.
What a pisstaking combination. Drooling over their scams. Totally comfortable - in fact eager - to take risks with other people’s money, rights and lives.
Just repulsive.

Hmmm well, Kwerteng's track record so far:

- chancellor and author of the worst most disruptive budget ever recorded

Yes, thought som I'll pass thanks

Jenkins is an absolute joke. I could be uncharitable about the people if Lincoln getting what they deserve for voting her in, but NO ONE deserves that!*

*Ok no one but maybe Trump

Sounds like a prime example of a community asset transfer from Star. If done well it could transform the pub and the role it plays in the village

Congratulations Arthur! 👏🏻

Or Iran!
Asda sells it

This is what frozen spinach is for

Never let Farage forget his bullshit. Remind him, call him out, don't accept his weasling out no matter how dry he gets. In fact, the angrier the better. Maybe one day the calm farage will flip on live TV so voters can see him for who he really is

It might be time to either introduce a maximum price we pay for oil and gas, stuffing the markets, or as a nation we get poorer again and government goes back to subsiding the sector. I can't see a way out. This war won't cease any time soon. We diplomatically ask for compensation from US and Israel

As long as the eggs aren't hard

Absolutely essential this system is made fairer and less punishing for graduates

Essential listening for everyone of voting age in the UK

Badenoch was terribly embarrassing during today's #PMQs.
From her question about rising fuel duty to the claim she would have sent a warship with zero weapons a week ago, she's a cosplay opposition leader and unsuitable for office

You can tell when the accountants are let loose on a business, when these wheezes start happening. This is a scandal and should be highlighted via national media

I think MI5 vetting Reform Candidates is a case of horse and stable door.

In the run-up to his war, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments, the NYT reports.

He downplayed risks as a short-term concern that shouldn’t overshadow the mission to decapitate the regime.

Now the energy markets are in chaos.

Eh?!? How does Marco walk with these oversized shoes on?

When the owners of Home Bargains decided they wanted to make more billions by changing the face of Liverpool waterfront forever in the model of Shanghai or Manchester, the council rolled over dutifully and in years to come, we will pay the price.

Exactly what Liverpool doesn't need! This development has sent the businesses in the area tailspinning into months of uncertainty, half of the towers will be investment for outside interests and the area will become a cold, dark and windy series of corridors with zero charm or character.

This is one of the most bizarre relationships that has come out of Trump's second term. A little known and fairly odd bureaucrat, has all of a sudden thru plenty of arselicken and the incoming world cup, become a Trump whisperer 🙃

This is great testament to the Ukrainian strategy, ability to quickly develop cheap battleground tech and to all of those soldiers and civilians who have fallen standing up to Putin's aggression. Europe needs to keep supporting this battle, it can be won

I can't wait to see Leavitt in court once this clown show is over

Surely with air superiority US air Force and Israelis should be blowing up these small craft if they're dropping mines in the Strait?

Ah yes, of course trump and his "top team" planned for this disruption including waiving sanctions on oil trade from Russia. His mate and puppet master, Putin will be pleased!

"Fresh Cask" isn't what it appears to be, it's a slight of hand and designed to dupe customers into thinking they're drinking properly cask conditioned ale. Greene King is instigating a race to the bottom including downskilling cellarship.

thought the name rang a bell and though he's poshified himself - once upon a time he was "Craig Dillon" - I interviewed this guy back in 2019 as he was doing social media for MPs in a vaguely interesting way - crucially, he seemed entirely normal back then! yet another radicalisation case

If Offcom doesn't throw the book at GB News for this hate stoking shit then what's the point in them?
