The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne.
Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations:
"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

Interesting comment I read today, sorry I don’t remember who to credit,but Farage was adamant that Shamima Begum was perfectly capable of understanding the consequences of her actions at 14 but a well educated middle class 18 year old can spout racist bile because it’s only banter!

I was suspicious of the Conservative claim that they could save £45b from the welfare bill, clearly indicating that benefit street is a thing. Oddly this claim seems wildly optimistic see what you think…

Its interesting researching the Reeves warnings about fiscal headroom prior to the Budget. She never mentioned a £30b blackhole,as far as I can see ever. Its also true to say that a £4.2b surplus is not a significant safety net for Government finances.

Some panic over frozen tax allowances seems a bit out of proportion. Assuming a 3% pay rise and 3.6% inflation rate the extra tax for the average worker on £39000 is £7.50 a month (compared to if allowances had risen with inflation).Out of an increase of £97.50 a month.

What struck me in the KemiBadenoch budget response was,despite the early release by the OBR, her communication skills are woeful.Making it a personal attack on the Chancellor rather than a detailed critique of the budget was the action of the playground bully not a wannabe PM.

Anyone else find it odd how Farage is more supportive of Putins propaganda channel Russia Today than he is of the British Broadcasting Company. Perhaps the recent conviction of Russian Reform asset Nathan Gill might reopen an investigation into interference in our democratic system.

Ed Davey's speech on the ECHR is a must watch if you haven't seen it. He definitely had his Weetabix yesterday morning! This is a strong, passionate, liberal argument for our rights and our future as a free liberal democracy... Seriously, watch it.

Now we have firm evidence that a senior Reform member and close ally of Nigel Farage Nathan Gill,was working for the Russians is it not necessary for our democracy to reopen the Russian inquiry and fully investigate the interference in our domestic policy by a hostile state?

Nathan Gill,Reforms former Welsh leader – once praised by Nigel Farage as a “terrific” ally – has now admitted taking bribes for pro-Russia messaging.
Farage’s silence is deafening. At a time of real concern about Kremlin interference in UK politics, the public deserves answers.

After Dunblane, the UK introduced laws to restrict gun ownership to protect children. It didn't mean guns disappeared, but it made it safer. The online safety bill doesn't eradicate online child abuse ,but it does make it safer. Farage offers no alternative,unless he does ,he is on the wrong side.

The recent story that Reform had taken over a Tory club is not quite as straightforward as the Spectator claimed. It appears that it hasnt been a Tory club for a while but a neo nazi venue hopenothate.org.uk/2025/05/21/r...

I’m not sure why this is not obvious,but it seems it isn’t for some. If you support,condone or take part in an act,like setting fire to a hotel with innocent people in it, you are a domestic terrorist. Especially if your motivation is hatred of another religion or race

So now we are told basket case and specsavers “bete noire” Dominic Cummings has joined with megalomaniac Bond villain Elon Musk to,once more, shaft British democracy. “Let the manipulation of the permanently angry and the gullible begin”

It was always my opinion that the British would have refused to man the gas chambers if the Nazis had won.However,having seen people burning hotels with innocents inside and some MPs refusing to condemn it,I think my patriotism was misplaced.

Perhaps the least edifying sight this week is senior Tories leaping on the coat tails of megalomaniac Musk,knowing that the language used puts MPs in real danger. Badenoch should be condemning, not condoning vile and spurious attacks, not slavelishly repeating them.

When Hitler called for the extermination of the Jewish people, he never expected to be an active participant. Should we reassess his place in history because he only used hurty words? Would the free speech right think it was OK? Seems they would.
