Reform UK's deputy leader has broken parliamentary rules by failing to register hospitality. So what's the story with Richard Tice, the French villa and the ex-Kremlin minister?

Tice received accommodation and food worth £1,400 combined from Lubov Chernukhin, in a trip to “discuss gas power in [the] UK”.

Is it patriotic or traitorous to discuss gas power in the UK with the Russians?

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Dear friends, please read this. 😔

We owe it to our one and only living planet, not to turn away. To be uninformed is to be powerless indeed. We have to face reality, no matter how painful, to have ANY hope at all of driving the positive change we need.

In the UK abortion has always been a moral issue, not a political one. Danny Kruger and Maria Caulfield, both rabid anti-abortionists, recently joined Reform and this is the reason why. Reform are going to try and politicise it

Dear Laura Kuenssberg

Don't you think it time you gave PROPER coverage to the issue of Reform, Nigel Farage, Nathan Gill & Russian bribery?

You seem reluctant. Just as Fiona Bruce seemed desperate to shut it down when Zack Polanski brought it up on #BBCQT

WHY?
