1) Why is this woman still in the House of Lords?

2) Why is she (along with her equally odious husband) not in jail?

Profiteering, by putting health workers at risk during a pandemic. Nice people... 🤮

This is a fair point. No, I haven't gone mad. Bear with me.

If Farage and his goons were scrutinized by Parliament, rather than certain fawning journalists (yes, you, BBC) I think their idiocy and idle racism would very quickly become very apparent.

Let’s hope the criminal charges can be escalated

They do have the money - as easy as it was for him to transfer millions into a trust fund for his kids he could transfer that money straight back
They stole it

Barrowman & Mone should be arrested immediately. They have no intention of paying. If this were an ordinary member of the public who didn't pay a fine by a specified date that's what would happen. Two tier Tories.

As well as the highest electricity prices in the world the UK is expected to have the highest inflation in the Western World in 2025

Fuelled by Energy, Water, Food and Rent hikes far above inflation

Of course these things could be controlled by the Government, if they wanted to

If we do not limit foreign involvement and monetary donations into our politics make no mistake that racist, misogynist, Nazi man-child Musk will shift the entire balance of our politics even more to the right and to hatred and division.

Nigel Farage claimed that Warwickshire County Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into their financial accounts.

The truth? Reform never made any inquiries.

Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.
