Maybe if Farage and Tice et all actually attended HofC and paid attention to proceeding ( ⭐️ 25th March 2026 ⭐️) they would know for sure that the new provisions about donations to political parties would apply from THAT DAY ⭐️.

If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

See this chart?
Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950.
This is why we must build back worker power.

You may note my profile photo. It is a brave lifeboat man. He helped save lives in the small fishing north east town of Filey. As ever here were people who, unlike masked yobs, put their lives at risk for others. Just one reason to support the RNLI

KALLAS: I’m happy to see Witkoff and Kushner visited Kyiv for the first time. What it meant for Ukrainians was 3 days of no bombing of civilians. That’s positive side. But we don’t see that Russia is really interested in peace because they still haven't made a single concession.

A physical assault was committed yesterday at the NEC Birmingham at the Reform party conference. Perhaps someone in your force should find this perpetrator?
