This - and Farage working with wealthy US anti-abortion groups on 'freedom of [our] speech' campaigns (per Byline Times and NY Times) - show significant US financial interference in UK politics.

If you want to end up like the US, first thing to do is let money dominate democracy.

Taking on Elon Musk should be an open goal in British politics.

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.
