Reform leader says support from fraudster before last election is ‘totally undeclarable in every single way’

Nigel Farage has admitted his close friend the fraudster George Cottrell let him use one of his London homes and paid for social media filming before the last election but insisted it was “totally undeclarable in every single way”.

The Reform UK leader spoke in depth for the first time about his support from Cottrell and the £5m gift from the Thailand-based businessman Christopher Harborne in an interview with the anti-woke Triggernometry podcast.

Actor who was the first Irish woman to win an Oscar for her role in the 1989 film classic My Left Foot

Brenda Fricker, who has died aged 81, was only the second Irish actor – and the first female one – to win an Oscar, for her role as Daniel Day-Lewis’s mother in the 1989 film My Left Foot, after shooting to fame in the original cast of the BBC medical drama Casualty.

As the nurse Megan Roach, she was the Mother Earth of the fictional Holby City hospital’s A&E department for the programme’s first five series (1986-90). “We knew the show had to have compassion,” said Casualty’s first producer, Geraint Morris. “We made Megan the person everyone could talk to.”

Buried by a calcerous sand blow, a mature tuart forest eventually decayed, the trunks being replaced by hard calcrete. The slow accumulation of the waterborn seepage of calcrete is revealed by the thin horizontal bedding seen in the sides of these pinnacles. Subsequently the sand blow has moved on, the deflation revealing the moulded pinnacles which replace the trunks of the big tuart trees which formerly grew here. Tuarts grow to over 40m and basal dimensions can be 10m gbh. They were commercially logged and timber exported, in the 19th century, but the wood is very hard and blunts axes (and chainsaws!) readily.
Tuarts are Eucalyptus gomphocephala.
The large pinnacles retain the size of the large bases of the trunks of these trees which are native to Western Australia and still grow in the region. Large sand blows are still active along this coast of Australia also.
