Richard Tice And Isabel Oakeshott—Britain’s Premier Outrage Merchants And Professional Hypocrites.
Content Warning: Political & Journalistic Grifters At Work!
If you came here looking for moral integrity or public service heroes, you’ve taken a wrong turn. This is the tale of Reforms Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott—Britain’s premier outrage merchants and professional hypocrites. These two have turned scandal-mongering into a lucrative side hustle, spinning self-interest and divisive rhetoric into a cottage industry of clicks, cash, and chaos. Think of them as the political equivalent of a used car dealer selling you a clunker while loudly blaming immigrants for the bad brakes.
Richard Tice: Patriotism, but Make It Tax-Free
Richard Tice likes to position himself as the champion of Britain’s salt-of-the-earth types. But while he bangs the drum for Brexit and British sovereignty, his financial portfolio tells a different story—one that involves a nice, cushy Jersey trust where his millions could sit far away from the taxman’s grubby hands. Nothing says “For Britain!” like avoiding paying for its roads, schools, and hospitals for nearly 30 years.
Tice insists his offshore tax escapades were just savvy international investments, not hypocrisy. Ah yes, the classic "double taxation" defence. Who hasn’t felt the pain of being taxed on their multi-million-pound property empire in multiple countries? Truly, Richard, you are a man of the people.
And let’s not forget that Tice leads Reform UK, a party that likes to wag its finger at tax dodgers while its leader practically wrote the manual, probably. Reform loves to paint itself as the voice of the common Brit, but with a millionaire at the helm and policies straight out of the Farage playbook, it’s less “for the people” and more “for people with offshore accounts.”
Tice and Banks: A Match Made in Brexit Hell
Before rebranding as a “man of reform,” Tice cut his teeth in the Brexit trenches, rubbing elbows with the king of dodginess himself, Arron Banks. As co-founder of Leave.EU, Tice had a front-row seat to a referendum campaign shrouded in allegations of foreign funding and questionable practices. He’s since tried to distance himself from Banks, but much like his offshore trust, that stink doesn’t wash off easily.
Now as leader of Reform UK, Tice’s latest bright idea is for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. Because clearly, what Britain really needs is less accountability and fewer protections for its citizens. Nothing says “sovereignty” like taking away human rights. Still Brexit worked out just fine.
Isabel Oakeshott: Betrayal for Hire
And then we have Isabel Oakeshott, Tice’s partner in politics and scandal, a journalist who’s built a career out of burning bridges and breaking promises. Oakeshott is the kind of person who could leak your birthday party plans if it meant grabbing a headline.
Take her crown jewel of backstabbing: the Hancock WhatsApp leaks. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, Oakeshott promptly handed over 100,000 private government messages to The Telegraph. Matt Hancock called it a “massive betrayal,” which, coming from a man whose pandemic policies were a betrayal in themselves, really says something. Oakeshott defended herself by claiming it was in the public interest. Sure, Isabel. And I suppose the book deal and media attention were purely coincidental?
This isn’t even her first rodeo. Remember the infamous Call Me Dave book? Oakeshott co-wrote that little masterpiece of gossip, including the unverified (but unforgettable) pig-related allegations about David Cameron. When it comes to dragging reputations through the mud, Isabel Oakeshott is practically a one-woman pigsty.
The Darroch Leak: Diplomacy? What’s That?
In case her betrayal bingo card wasn’t full, Oakeshott also leaked diplomatic cables in 2019 that led to the resignation of Sir Kim Darroch, the UK ambassador to the US. The cables included unflattering assessments of Donald Trump, causing a diplomatic meltdown. Oakeshott claimed this, too, was in the public interest. Funny how her “public interest” always aligns with her self-interest.
Political & Journalistic Grifters Unite: The Power Couple of Chaos
Together, Tice and Oakeshott form the ultimate tag team of hypocrisy and scandal. While Tice preaches patriotism and reforms that he clearly doesn’t believe in, Oakeshott runs a one-woman betrayal factory, packaging scandals for maximum profit. They thrive on outrage, controversy, and whatever keeps them in the headlines.
Tice’s offshore millions and Oakeshott’s serial leaking show one thing: these two are less interested in Britain’s well-being and more interested in whatever lines their pockets and strokes their egos. Tice screams about sovereignty while avoiding taxes, and Oakeshott screams about integrity while shredding NDAs. Together, they’re like a political pantomime—entertaining, sure, but ultimately ridiculous and damaging.
Leaving the ECHR: Fear-Mongering for Fun and Profit
Tice’s call to leave the European Convention on Human Rights is a masterclass in cynical populism. He dresses it up as sovereignty, but it’s really just another way to appeal to the most extreme elements of the Brexit base. The reality? Leaving the ECHR would strip away protections for ordinary Brits while giving people like Tice even more power to run amok. But hey, as long as it gets him a few more headlines, right?
The Takeaway: Political & Journalistic Grifters Gonna Grift
Tice and Oakeshott are the perfect examples of modern outrage politics: loud, divisive, and utterly self-serving. They’ve turned scandal into a business model, profiting off division while pretending to be champions of the people. Spoiler alert—they’re not.
They’re not here to help Britain. They’re here to help themselves. So, the next time you see Tice railing about patriotism or Oakeshott dropping another “exclusive,” remember this: it’s all part of the Political & Journalistic Grift.
And in the end, that’s the only thing they’re truly loyal to.
