Dale Vince: Question Time looked at public...

Question Time looked at public funding of politics last week - could have added to that debate..:). We’ve published a report calling for a ban on all donations, the cost is just £50m a year, and that’s after the Tories doubled spending limits….a packet of crisps each per year to clean politics up completely. And we polled the public, 70% support the idea - that was before the mega crypto donations….And we already spend nearly £1 billion a year on politics, when you add up things like short electoral spending, salaries and expenses for MPs and Peers, maintaining the House costs £500m a year. £50m completes the job - and restores trust in the decisions politicians make. Reform has no defence policy but has a policy that benefits Crypto dealers - it’s a stand out example of apparent ‘bent money’.

Tommy Robinson: It turns out Israel had warned Britain...

UNBELIEVABLE!!! It turns out Israel had warned Britain what was going to happen in Fairford! Netanyahu said “You wanna hear how obsurd things are in Britain, we gave the Brits the intel that there was gonna be an Iranian sponsored attack and pretty much the next day they slapped sanctions on us” Now you know why that just came out of the blue from our parliament that day. Everything is orchestrated to destroy us. Though he shouldn’t say “The Brits” as the people he was giving it to should not be called or be classed as Brits, there traitors and Britain destroyers is what they are.

Alex Wickham: Labour officials under Keir Starmer...

NEW: Labour officials under Keir Starmer say the EU will impose billions of pounds of extra costs on Britain if Andy Burnham tries to rejoin When officials in Starmer’s government informally asked EU counterparts what the cost of rejoining in future might be, they said Britain would likely lose Margaret Thatcher’s budget rebate, sources say It would mean extra costs of some £5 billion a year It is one reason why both UK and EU officials are privately sceptical of Andy Burnham’s suggestion he could reverse Brexit The UK believes the EU would not insist on it joining the Schengen Area or adopting the euro. But accepting freedom of movement would obviously be non-negotiable Another former Labour aide points out that either rejoining the EU or entering a customs union would effectively void the free trade agreements Britain had signed since Brexit Brussels meanwhile wants to see the detail of any UK proposals and is concerned about British flop-flopping given its revolving-door of prime ministers

Andrew Bridgen: The Republican Governor of Texas Greg...

The Republican Governor of Texas Greg Abbott declared a statewide disaster on Monday over soaring diesel prices and a worsening fuel shortage created by wars abroad. He has said the now 7 month old war with Iran is a disaster just over a month ahead of the US midterm elections . Texas is produces more oil than it uses so how are other less fortunate states feeling about the ongoing war and its effects on energy markets and prices ?
