🇵🇱🤝Poland will force Putin's plane to land in order to arrest him – Foreign Minister Sikorski stated, that the country cannot guarantee safe passage of the aircraft over its territory.

And bloody right, he has sent drones into NATO, why the hell would we?

Nigel Farage has, very clearly, broken parliamentary rules. Will any journalists challenge him on it? Via Private Eye

COINCIDENCE CORNER

3 October: The Observer contacts Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for comment over why he has not updated his register of interests since May, despite continuing to work second jobs and parliamentary rules requiring interests be declared within 28 days. A spokesperson for Farage responds: “All declarations have been made for any earnings outside of Parliament.”

3 October: Farage registers more than £120,000 of earnings, from making speeches in May and June and presenting shows on GB News in July and August, which he received more than 28 days earlier (ie before 5 September) – meaning he is in breach of parliamentary rules.

Is there any evidence of this? Sarah Ferguson took money, she wrote about that but nothing else, right?

I think he is a scumbag and believe Virginia but come on, is it really a stretch to believe a Prince would have had sex with so many women he might forget one or two?

He remembers her and all the others he abused, and he's lying. And he's a narcissistic asshole.

He doesn't remember. because these children didn't matter to him...They all are the same to him....just a way to relieve himself...they were kids who didn't matter. Only he and his magical penis mattered. He is such a sadistic and selfish asshole.

UK Labour are properly missing a right wing trick of finding a scapegoat to blame for all our ills & sense of poverty. The stupidest thing about missing that trick is that they have the most legitimate culprit right under their effing nose! BREXIT broke Britain & everyone knows it. Wankers.

They'll likely have to pay penalties. We can ballpark it: given plausible VAT recovery, and assuming Reform UK cooperate fully with HMRC, expect a VAT bill in the region of £40k, plus £3k penalties, plus £3.5k interest.

I'm guessing they thought political parties were somehow exempt from tax.

Nope.

Political *donations* aren't taxable. But if a political party sells a baseball cap, the VAT is the same as when M&S do.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Something big is coming and they are trying to get ahead of it. All this time he fought tooth and nail to keep his standing and titles/properties etc. Why is he surrendering everything now?

So he usually puts his arm around a scantily clad young female in the presence of a woman who’s currently in jail for 20yrs for trafficking minors?
Ah, right, silly me. I forgot, he thinks the photo was ‘doctored’ 😵‍💫

Very bad... he shames the nation & the Throne. He soils his elevated, privileged & entitled platform with the platform dripping his muck upon the nation from on high.

That Andrew, son of Queen Elizabeth II, says he cannot remember having sex with Virginia Giuffre whilst, she claimed it happened 3 times; suggests he was doing it a lot with lots of different young females, just like Virginia Giuffre? Otherwise, he'd remember it well, right? Or, he's lying. All bad.
