Nothing says "patriot" like wanting our opponents to be able to interfere in our democracy, does it @Nigel_Farage? independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

The fact our politics is in disarray makes it even more important that we zealously guard the few remaining spaces where people can be heard. theguardian.com/environment/20…
We believe the section 14 Order is invalid - that it amounts to a huge overreach of the statutory power - and likely reflects the enormous political pressure the Met is under.
It exposes the Met to all sorts of risks - of legal challenges to validity, of civil claims for wrongful arrest with aggravated damages and so on - merely because this Government cannot tolerate peaceful protest.

If the House of Commons were to approve a withdrawal agreement on 19 October, and there was no extension, we would have No Deal on 31 October. Here's why. THREAD.
Approving a withdrawal agreement in the Commons by 19 October is not sufficient to enable that withdrawal agreement to be ratified in Parliament or the EU. But it does mean that the PM has no obligation to apply for an extension. waitingfortax.com/2019/09/15/the…
To ratify the withdrawal agreement a number of further steps have to be taken on the UK side. If they are not taken the agreement can't be ratified.

These steps are set out in section 13 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

Back in 2016, I wrote about how Uber was running up an unpaid national insurance contributions bill of £13m a month... waitingfortax.com/2016/11/03/the…
...shortly after writing that post I met privately with a very senior HMRC officer who indicated it was not interested in pursuing the point...
In August, Uber's US accounts revealed it was (at last) in dispute with HMRC about its NICs bill.

‼️Nigel Farage & TeamTrump

#Brexit2016Elex Thread 2

Nigel Farage has done more than any politician in a generation to yank British politics to the hard, nationalist right.

He is one of the most dangerous demagogues Britain has ever seen.

Nigel Farage is a racist climate change denier who hides his tax dealings, supports authoritarian leaders across the globe and associates with known conspiracy theorists.

But do take my word for it. THREAD.
So, just to preface this. I won't be talking much about Brexit here. The reason being - it's been done. To death. And to the detriment of debate about how dangerous Farage actually is, and what he actually believes. We'll touch on it, but it ain't front row centre.
It's hard to know where to start with Farage, frankly. After doing the research that I have on him, it's stunning to think that he's the favourite for the European Elections. Sorry, stunning? I meant horrifying. But let's start with the young Farage, and work our way from there.

Vote for #Farage and get this. This man is Crispin Odey. He bankrolled #VoteLeave and made 220m when leave won by shorting the pound. Farage helped the markets to fluctuate when he 'conceded' the referendum early. You are being used to fill their pockets. #BrexitParty #EUElection
Odey also has links to Rees-Mogg. He helped Jacob set up his hedge fund, and also helped towards his election costs. They are all in this together, they pretend to care about the working-class, but in truth they are exploiting us to make more money. ft.com/content/a42110…
Thank you to everyone that has RT this so far, please keep sharing it, it may help some people change their minds about the #EUElections2019

"Banks gave £450K to #Farage after Brexit vote"

Pymts for Chelsea home, Land Rover, trips to US-including to meet Trump and RNCCLE 2016🚩pymts to US lobbyist Gerry Gunster

Via "Rock Services Ltd" & "Southern Rock" 🧐

Russia ➡️"Diamond mines" ➡️Banks

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
RECALL: BANKS: "In 12/18, So African intel officials confirmed to me that Banks, who owns diamond mines, had been the subject of two investigations by the Hawks....”

"This detailed @NewYorker investigation into Arron Banks, his Russian connections, and his opaque funding of the Leave.EU campaign makes an unanswerable case for a Mueller-style inquiry into whether the EU referendum was stolen."

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.

Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel Farage:

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
