I think Ben has forgotten the £1000 per roll wallpaper "spaffed" onto the walls of No 10 flat. He's also forgotten wives being non dom for tax avoidance. But let Ben have his moment grinding his teeth over a man who is paid enough to support a wife who doesn't earn.
Being Prime Minister should not come with a free meal ticket for your wife.
America has a First Lady. Britain does not.
Andy Burnham’s wife is not an elected politician. She is not a member of the Government. She is simply the Prime Minister’s wife.
If this new “unofficial First Lady” role means travelling around Britain or overseas at taxpayers expense, the public deserve to know exactly what is being funded and why.
Expenses normally associated with public office should be for people actually holding public office.
Britain does not need an American style First Lady.
Joseph seems to think swearing enough will make facts disappear and make Trump the Second Coming. Oh dear, he must be a sad disappointment to his family.
Bless her.... couldn't spot corruption if a VIP PPE lane opened up in front of her.
.@reformparty_uk have not commissioned any poll. They had nothing to declare.
Reform have accepted no political donations. All donations are filtered through a legal process and if any had been made, would have been rejected.
Two globally renowned climate change activists pulled a sting on niaeve party officials.
Every political party and the left wing media are amplifying and loving it.
The public aren’t daft. They will see it for what it is.
He's polling at a staggering 73%....... As he's not fighting against anyone but a bin, I'm not sure this is the win his supporters think it is. I mean nigh on 30% would rather be represented by Count Binface!
Its 2500 km away, in Africa, you numbskull... As it is, nigh on all of the "invaders" have left the city. They are not on their way to Calais, they are still in Africa. Also, what is your stance on climate change making areas uninhabitable?
Hmm, they have to cross Straits of Gibralter, travel up through Spain, across the Pyrenees, up through France, across to Calais & then get a boat to cross the Channel. Bit of a jump to be pearl clutching over "security of our border", especially as its around 2,500 KM.
I, like this pompous git, don't use the Bus much. However, I am very aware of how key they are to a lot of people. Buses travel around 1.2billion miles per annum in the uk - that is a lot of people taking a lot of journeys. I am pleased Mr B is doing something about pricing.

He has to go.
EXCLUSIVE
Nigel Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler paid for his staff, security, drivers, social media output in year before election
Reform leader has also received free accommodation in Westminster from George Cottrell as MP

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.
1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.
2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."
Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...
3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.
4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.
It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.
But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.
This is not going to go away.
This woman is as thick as treacle. Since 2018, around 197,000 people have landed in uk via small boat crossings. Last year alone, 85 million people travelled through Heathrow. She seems to suggest we stop checking air passengers with some convoluted link to small boats. Fool.
It’s laughable how law abiding people are having to spend hours queuing up at airports because of new EU border checks that have been brought in but these same countries turn a blind eye to illegal migrants with no paperwork who just ruck up on their shores.
It’s bonkers & nothing makes any sense anymore.
Anyone would think they are intentionally trying to put people off going on holiday 🤔

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.
Hmm, cousin marriages..... I want to know about where the £5m went, who bought the house in Clacton, phone hacking by Ruskies, and why your candidates are seemingly unvetted. Or are you happy with their social media content????
I strongly advocate not chatting about something on Twitter unless you know what you are talking about. This word salad of total guff is a prime example. A 15 min city promotes walking/cycling rather than driving, and Central Oxford is virtually there anyway.
So Oxford UK is to become a 15 minute city in August. Do people realise what a 15 minue City is?????? Do you realise they need a pass to leave it, even to go to work???? That they are fined if they go over the pass limit. They must have facial recognition cameras everywhere!!!!! Anyone on here from Oxford?????
