Not all heroes wear capes! Dan is definitely what every system needs to keep itself honest. Expose the dodgy operators to make sure the laws do work for everyone.

How do dodgy tax advisers respond when faced with evidence they created fake tax relief claims?

1️⃣ Admit it?
2️⃣ Say it was an honest mistake?
3️⃣ Threat and bluster?

The answer is unlikely to surprise you.

Too late! You live under an authoritarian regime who used your 2nd Amendment to take over. Nobody can celebrate that in the UK but this is what is happening... sadly.

It's like Anne Frank being a fan of Mussolini's blackshirts! I get it when white people want racism but this is beyond comprehension... or the zenith of stupidity.

Good points and the insults need to stop but we need to be honest with language, especially to people who prefer going low and being hurtful rather than help their communities and even themselves!

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract.

There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m...

Coming soon to the US! Niall will probably applaud the fascist POTUS as well until the economy (and everything else) implodes by their idiocy.

Why do they bother with this drivel when it's 3 years till the next election? Just because Herr Musk said we need the government to fall it doesn't mean people in the UK want that!

Nigel Farage on course to be next prime minister, mega poll projects

The projection suggests 306 Reform gains, up from their current seat tally of five.

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Famously, everything starts from one because there is nothing before zero? So if you don't have a pound, 99 pence is 0. I don't know what capitalism has to do with maths, but it shows how idiots would pick on anything for an argument... especially when they're wrong!

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner

Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”
