So $billionaires as well as Russia seek to take control of our political parties. We must look through the sham companies funnelling the payments. And as for the politicians taking this money, not only should they repay it, but also they should be prosecuted.
Reform MPs are already drawing significant funds from Elon Musk, through his website as part of its “creators” program.

1000 days of illegal Russian aggression in Ukraine. Russia has attacked Kyiv alone with more than 2,500 missiles and drones. Half of the attacks took place this year.
If Kyiv residents spent every hour of every alert in a shelter, they would have spent more than two months in bunkers.
