Brexit has increased costs, increased red tape, and slowed employment growth in the music industry. People from across the industry have been affected, from artists and crew unable to tour, to musicians and DJs who are losing out on bookings.

Given a) Farage's past; b) the expanding story about Russia and former MEPs; and c) media enthusiasm for "what influence is being bought?" questions, if anyone to left of Mussolini is gifted so much as a cup of sugar, why is Reform facing no such questions about Friday's £9m crypto-bro donation?~AA
