The government would not confiscate donations which fall foul of donation law, Nick Robinson, and you know that. The party would be required to return the money to the donors.

Follow the money…
Susanna Reid: "what does anyone expect in return for £72m?"

Kevin Maguire: ".. funnily enough Reform doesn't have anybody to speak on social care.. but it has a very detailed policy on crypto currency.. & it would coincidentally make these billionaires even more money" #GMB

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day!

Bloody brilliant!

Masked thugs are targeting unpaid RNLI volunteers for pulling drowning people from the sea. Decency demands we protect those who save lives, not tolerate the cowards threatening them.

When Saving Lives Becomes a Crime in the Eyes of Thugs
There is a fundamental moral line in a civilised society, one so basic that it shouldn’t require explaining: when a human being is drowning in freezing water, you pull them out.

Protesters clash with police, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Portsmouth after the arrival of a small boat carrying migrants.

It is mob rule. Private armies, masked and dressed in black roam the streets, blocking roads, attacking police.

Whatever happened to the rule of law and order?

Talking about public control is just tinkering and on Thames Water he’s even tinkering with the tinkering by backtracking.

If he wants hope: tax the wealthy, take water back under public ownership, bring in rent controls & no to new North Sea drilling.

It would be impossible to guess any of this from most media coverage.
New immigration stats show that the numbers of asylum seekers in hotels is down to 16k - falling 50% in a year.

Small boat crossings down 23% in the year to June.

Numbers waiting for initial decision down from almost 180k to 40k.

Working people are putting in more hours than ever, and still falling behind. Meanwhile CEOs are giving themselves record pay packages while the workers who actually make their companies run can barely afford the basics.
