Let’s bring back Liz the Lettuce and Krazi Kwarteng ................... Why not, it's one your regular template replies. You have little else to add. |

Perhaps Vic Reeves for Rachel?

I never found Vic Reeves that funny tbh, certainly not as funny as Liz the Lettuce and Krazi Kwarteng.

If you found Truss and KK funny, you must be laughing your arse off at this rabble (makes a change from talking out of it)

By:
No ashley it saddens me that a conservative is running the country still and he is almost as useless as the last lot. He does not have a clue what is needed neither do his ministers. He will protect the Super Rich and vested interests however and it is we who will pay for the 14 years of Tory ineptness

Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters.
The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses. The Clacton MP, who is also paid a £94,000-a-year MP’s salary, has in the past criticised people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy” and has previously come under fire for setting up a trust fund in an offshore tax haven. He has also claimed that some tax avoidance schemes were acceptable. “Most forms of legal tax avoidance are OK, but clearly some are not,” he said in 2014, adding that nobody voluntarily paid anything to HMRC while defending reducing a tax bill within the law. Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties. The use of personal service companies is not illegal, but it has been criticised across the political spectrum as a way to reduce tax bills. Farage has declined to publish his tax returns for 2023/24. |

What is Fusion, and Why Is It So Difficult to Achieve?
So how exactly does nuclear fusion work? Simply put, nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free-moving electrons that has unique properties distinct from solids, liquids and gases. To fuse on our sun, nuclei need to collide with each other at very high temperatures, exceeding ten million degrees Celsius, to enable them to overcome their mutual electrical repulsion. Once the nuclei overcome this repulsion and come within a very close range of each other, the attractive nuclear force between them will outweigh the electrical repulsion and allow them to fuse. For this to happen, the nuclei must be confined within a small space to increase the chances of collision. In the sun, the extreme pressure produced by its immense gravity create the conditions for fusion to happen. The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear fission reactions — and fusion reactions can be the basis of future fusion power reactors. Plans call for first-generation fusion reactors to use a mixture of deuterium and tritium — heavy types of hydrogen. In theory, with just a few grams of these reactants, it is possible to produce a terajoule of energy, which is approximately the energy one person in a developed country needs over sixty years. |

![]() You lot could not even tell us what law she has broken! You’re just finger pointing flag wavers! You know nothing and you’ll always know nothing. Gone by the weekend? You know as much about politics as you do about business Johnny…FA! Johnny, you said she was guilty of hypocrisy because you could not tell us how she had broken any law! The real hypocrites are people like you. Bring Doris back? Oh that’s right… he is banned from the Palace of Westminster…..for corruption! |

Just shouting your mouth off like the clueless hypocrites and cap doffers and forelock tuggers Back to Tory Sleaze Bingo July 2020 - Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick faced calls to resign over his role in a controversial planning project proposed by Tory donor Richard Desmond, which saved the former Daily Express owner up to £50m in council costs Bingo! |

She now takes "full responsibility for the error".
Only on Wednesday she was blaming her advisers. Lying right to the end. |
|
By:
The only error she made was getting caught.
|
|
By:
her resignation letter goes on and on .....
clearly she was so far up her own 4rse she couldn't see daylight |
|
By:
How was she rumbled in the first place?
Imo she suspected that extra tax was due and chose to remain ignorant, but only she will know. |

Never underestimate people's stupidity!

Thanks for the advice WD - but I have never underestimated yours.

If Nigel Farage had paid for his Clacton home it would have cost him an extra £44,000 in stamp duty. How convenient then, that his common law wife was on hand to buy the house as her sole property and pay a lower rate?
Angela Rayner has done the correct thing and resigned. Will Nigel Farage do the same thing? I very much doubt it. |
|
By:
I daresay somebody will now investigate source of funds!
Where does she elect to pay Council Tax? I very much doubt the hollow man would pay taxes in Clackton as he is never there! |
|
By:
Blakey, you seem to have missed a very important point. What Farage did was perfectly legal under the current rules, what Rayner did was not.
And the only reason Rayner resigned was because she got found out and really had no choice. |
|
By:
Farage will no doubt hide behind the technicality that what he did was within the law. That doesn't change the fact the man is a hypocrite of the highest order.
|
|
By:
Rayner didn’t do the right thing. She lied trying to blame it on her conveyancing solicitors then turned on the waterworks for sympathy before finally having to admit what she did was illegal.
|
|
By:
The technicality that he didn't buy the house, and doesn't own it

Rayner 'broke the ministerial code', as identified by that extremely friendly and expedient 'independent' investigator. It was almost like Magnus knew the full story already.
|
|
By:
Since Farage isn't a minister yet, it's a little more difficult to achieve

Far left mug? Au contraire. I'm actually apolitical. As far as I'm concerned they're all a bunch of crooks. Left, right and straight down the middle.

Sounds about right, as you don't appear to know anything about politics. Raver hasn't resigned as an mp.

By:
some admittedly Facebook know all's saying she will still be on 94 k a year even thos she has resigned ,izzat right ?

Yes that's the MP basic salary. Plus expenses.
