Lawyers get a bad name - sometimes deservedly. But many do essential work. Our lawyers kept us out of court (even when I wrote "Jimmy Savile was a paedophile" fully aware that it was a criminal offence) & then got us into court to overturn that absurd law. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

The DUP's biggest lie has been exposed. For 20 years, it's denied ever talking to Sinn Féin before March 2007. It attacked Trimble & threatened libel action. Now the man who hosted top secret DUP-SF talks has spilled the beans - & he kept hard evidence. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

On Friday, I'm spending the night outside Stormont - but not to wait on politicians reaching agreement. I'll be sleeping out with colleagues from @BelTel to raise money for the Simon Community, which helps those who are homeless - a growing problem in NI. justgiving.com/page/sam-mcbr…

In prostituting itself to a depraved outfit, Ulster’s love of Kingspan’s cash is trumping basic morality. Even now Kingspan is misleading the public about the true horror of what it really did. It lied and lied and lied again - and 72 innocent people died. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opini…

I fell for a very simple online scam which then became more sophisticated. My editor thought that not enough people had read about this so you should hear about my stupidity...his enthusiasm was such that he even took off the paywall. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opini…

Yvette Cooper has just confirmed that the now-aborted Rwanda Scheme cost the U.K. taxpayer £700m to send just 4 “volunteers” to Rwanda. And that the previous govt budgeted a total £10 Billion cost. Has there ever been government waste on this scale?

🔴 Guess who is funding Sunak's Tories? The same super-wealthy donors who put Liz Truss in Downing Street Major new investigation 🧵: - Bosses at right-wing 'Tufton Street' think tanks have given £35 million+ to the Tories - IEA, Policy Exchange etc don't declare their donors. They're registered 'non partisan' charities. But their trustees have given *500 times more to Tories than Labour + LD - Tufton Street think tanks had >150 meetings with Tory ministers since 2020 - Media loves them. They're in British newspapers >15 times per day #democracyforsale #GE2024 #darkmoney @ByDonkeys @carolvorders Sign up to find out more: democracyforsale.uk

"We can't allow fraudsters to exploit the natural compassion and generosity of the British people" - Rishi Sunak, speaking earlier today
Exclusive: Tories received legal advice that Mark Menzies's alleged misuse of campaign funds amounted to fraud but decided they weren't obliged to tell the police because it was donors' rather than party money, whistleblower claims. thetimes.co.uk/article/mark-…
