Threat to take Reform donor’s OBE ignites free speech row
The Daily Telegraph says the honours forfeiture committee threatened to strip the wealthy Reform UK supporter of his OBE last year due to his social media comments. Charlie Mullins said someone should kill the Mayor of London.
Mullins has agreed to go to diversity training and as such he can now keep his OBE. Mullins tells the paper he’s a victim of a politically motivated attack.
- The Chancellor is being accused of trying to ‘buy off’ the Labour backbenchers with a £2bn investment for social housing. The backbenchers are reportedly angry about Wednesday’s budget – where we’re expecting to see massive spending cuts.
- The US leaders accidentally added a journalist to a group chat where they leaked the texts between some of America’s biggest politicians, including plans to bomb Yemen. The Telegraph picks up on comments that Europe is pathetic and a load of freeloaders.
