"Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice Balances Political Duties Between UK and UAE
Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader, navigates responsibilities across two continents amid personal and professional commitments.
Tice's partner, journalist Isabel Oakeshott, relocated to Dubai several months ago with her children.
Despite the geographical separation, both Tice and Oakeshott affirm that their relationship is ongoing, coordinating visits in alignment with their schedules and availability of flights with Emirates Airlines.
Tice, who was elected as an MP six months ago, is one of five representatives from Reform UK, the successor to the UK Independence Party (UKIP)".

Bryan R :
Reeves and now Streeting bleating on about having no money; which of course is utter rubbish. Streeting like Reeves is utterly incompetent as neither can read a set of accounts. The Whole of Government Accounts 202/23 show that under the Tories, yes the Tories that HMGs total liabilities owing fell by ยฃ1.5 trillion. As such, the UK national debt has fallen by ยฃ1.5 trillion; and Streeting like Reeves are idiots who cannot for the life of them read a set of accounts and use the money to reform Social Care and much much more.
C/o @richardjmurphy
The governmentโs latest accounts show its debtโs fallen massively

A response to his blog post:
RonaldM says:
When we see how certain and clear the media are in their primary purpose of guarding the interests and needs of the economic system, how ruthless and focussed the lobbying function is at the same, why are we inclined to the view that says our politicians, media and economists โfailโ us? Why not simply recognise that they are not working for anyone or anything other than the economic system and the financial elites that benefit from it, that they do not โfailโ us, they manage us. They marvel at their own success and despise the gullibility of โthe peopleโ they are elected by.

Why are food banks necessary, why is there poverty and why are children in care?
Interesting quote by Hรฉlder Cรขmara, Archbishop of Olinda and Recife: โWhen I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist".

Clement Attlee said: โCharity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.โ As we hurtle towards 2025, perhaps it is time our society edged towards such progress. Modern Britain should not be run like the final pages of A Christmas Carol, in which Tiny Tim must rely on Scrooge waking up in a good mood to be permitted to live. Donate to a good cause this Christmas, please. But donโt forget the unseasonal truth: every time a charity helps a person find food or clothes, it is a sign of government failure.

As of last month, more than 16 million people are living in poverty, or a staggering 24% of the UK population โ the highest since records began. Over 9 million of these are in deep poverty, meaning theyโre struggling to afford enough food or pay energy bills. More than a million children donโt even have their own bed. Itโs no surprise that a survey of voluntary organisations by the CAF found that 86% say demand for their services has increased over the past year, with poverty-relief charities reporting the biggest rise. Goodwill alone cannot fix the holes in the safety net.

Another Angry Voice:
British media sources have even been reporting that the Starmer government are considering removing HTS from their list of banned terrorist organisations, which just goes to show how the UK establishment order puts power above principle.
Get sex-trafficked into Islamist fanaticism as a 15-year old girl and youโre condemned for life, actually lead Al-Qaida in Syria and commit horrific crimes against humanity, then get reprieved when you take over a country!

Jonathan Cook:
The BBC reminds us every time it mentions Hamas that it is 'designated a terrorist organisation by the British government'.
HTS, the al-Qaeda rebranded conquerors of Damascus, are designated a terrorist organisation by Britain too.
So why is the BBC not pointing that out?

Jonathan Cook:
At each mention of Hamas, the BBC informs us that it is "designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government".
In the interests of balance, at what point will the BBC inform us at each mention of Netanyahu's name that he is "wanted on suspicion of committing crimes against humanity"?
