Welcome to our long running thread for political discussion, general chit chat, a friendly hug and taxes in kind

The Times very delicately refers to the Tice’s company structure as “unusual” which made me laugh. Interesting too that he’s funnelled cash to Reform.
It’s a criminal offence to provide false information on company accounts.

Reform dragged into tax row by Richard Tice’s unpaid £100,000

Funny how it is always a honest mistake when it comes to men, Hunt, Zahawi and now Tice

From today’s Times

The total tax Tice's companies are known to have avoided through onshore and offshore entities, or failed to pay, in relation to Quidnet now amounts to almost £800,000.

Dan Neidle’s all over it.

Tice should do the decent thing and resign.

Oh my goodness, I've just seen some pigs flying over.

Farage is such a weak leader for not suspending Tice as soon as thos started to come out pending enquiries. He should have fired Tice by now. Clearly the reform leader is happy with tax evasion.

Weak weak weak.

It was probably the lovely Isabelle’s fault. As Farage actually gets paid to lecture on useful passports for tax avoidance he can’t possibly have missed having his eyes all over this - I expect a decisive and firm response statement from him shortly.

I’m also expecting to check last week’s random lottery ticket and win …

Reading to the end of that Times article it seems it’s more than just weak of Farage. The money Tice funnelled to Reform from his dodgy tax kept the party going after the 2019 election. Is there a case for some action there? I mean, Farage coukd deny knowledge but it seems Tice couldn’t and he was leader during the time - Farage was considering retiring.

Squirrel of course means "tail shader". Because when you lift the tail to shade the body you can see a source of shit.

You can see why Reformistas despise the classical education that is a hallmark of civilised discourse. Why do they hate Britain ?

He needs his money.

The picture could apply to (parts of) this thread.

I agree with you re Tice.

I tend to think that Tice will be applauded by sections of the party. He's advertising exactly what Reform are offering.

There will likely be no negative consequences for Tice - which is a shame

Labour should follow Irans lead ....

😂🤣😂

Why do they hate the UK @SerendipityJaneis a relevant , good question and something that always bothers me.
They seem to have so much of everything yet they want to destabilise the UK imo and why?
Horrible to watch BBC people like CM, LK interviewing Farage, Tice et al with the fawning and lack of serious questioning.
I really don't get it.

There is a saying that familiarity breeds contempt ...

Goodbye, Starmer - now kindly fuck off.

Sir Keir Starmer was warned about the red flags that led to Lord Mandelson failing his developed vetting security clearance, The Telegraph can disclose.

The Prime Minister will argue in the Commons on Monday that it was “unforgivable” he was not told Lord Mandelson had failed the process during his appointment as US ambassador. But senior Whitehall sources said Sir Keir had already been alerted to the underlying security concerns, and pressed ahead with the appointment regardless.

Oh you tease...I got all excited!

@Troika71 @Moomintrolleys

You do realise that there's an entirely separate, long-running series of threads about Labour not working/hate for Sir Keir Starmer, don't you? I'm wondering just why you seem to think that this thread/these threads are for you? What is your intention/aim of the posts you make here? Or have you just come to rile and create an argument?

I'm going to suggest that we all hire a charabanc and take a day trip to LIW. We can behave like complete arseholes, shout out FUCK OFF FARTAGE and BAD ENOCH (because we obviously can't spell names correctly). On the way home we can get pissed on the crate of brown ale in the back and congratulate ourselves on how terribly clever we were being while failing to realise we were just being offensive pointless twats.

You have got me all wrong.

I do not ‘hate’ anyone. I just want to present an alternative to those who believe that Starmer has been anything other than an unmitigated disaster.

We see that. But there's a whole other thread for you to do that!

Or do you somehow think you're in some kind of exalted position where you can 'convert' us poor posters on this thread? (By the way, many of us here are not especially impressed by Starmer - which you should know if you actually read the thread).
