Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further Β£3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his Β£millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

Big money has bought British politics

75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men

MPs’ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says Ipsa cites rising abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% from April

MPs’ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.

This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.

Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.

Meanwhile, Reform want to send us back to the 1970's.

β€” producing a combined output of 74 megawatts from 18 floating turbines, sufficient to power the entire city of Inverness (population 65,000) continuously and indefinitely from tidal energy alone.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Two months ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay Β£3bn a year more for US drugs.

The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.

Now we are getting 15% tariffs on everything.

The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Donor suspended from Tories pays Β£50,000 for dinner with Kemi Badenoch Exclusive: Rami Ranger, who was suspended temporarily in 2023, makes successful bid at party fundraising event

Donor suspended from Tories pays Β£50,000 for dinner with Kemi Badenoch.

That is 2+ years of minimum wage.

Monies at this scale are paid to buy influence and favours.

Criminalizing purchase/sale of political parties and legislators is a necessary step for ending political corruption.

The US coup: one year on I re-publish my piece from a year ago. It's not yet over. But it's nearly there...

NEW: β€˜It’s a coup’.

One year on from when DOGE entered the US treasury & Trump’s blitzkrieg on the rule of law began, I’ve republished an article I wrote then about what the headlines weren’t saying.

NB: They’re still not.

Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them.

But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Open letter to Wes Streeting: release your messages with your private healthcare donors The public has a right to know that health policy is not driven by quid pro quo relationships.

🀯60% of Wes Streeting's donors are from private health.

Good to see your texts with Mandelson. The public also has a right to know if health policy is being driven by unaccountable lobbying

Wes Streeting, release your messages with private healthcare. weownit.org.uk/news/wes-str...

Infographic with Thames Water logo overlaid on a pie chart:
54% believe that Ofwat should reject the deal put forward by Thames Water's creditors, and put the company into special administration.

Infographic with Thames Water logo overlaid on a pie chart: 54% believe that Ofwat should reject the deal put forward by Thames Water's creditors, and put the company into special administration.

Thames Water's creditors want 15 years’ "leniency" from river pollution rules. They think they should be above the law.

That didn't go down well with their customers!

We don’t have a functioning democracy when the people who lied to our faces to β€˜get Brexit done’ are never held to account for the damage they’ve caused… and, worse still, are rewarded for life, for cynically or moronically selling our country out.

They deserve nothing but our contempt. Forever.

Dualling A9 β€˜remains a priority for myself and this Government’, says First Minister The project to dual 83 miles of the route between Perth and Inverness is expected to be completed in 2035.

Make the A9 safe, certainly. Blow billions on road expansion during a time of climate crisis, when those funds are desperately needed elsewhere, utter madness.
