Names alone don’t reveal who is bankrolling power.
Under current rules, donors with common names can remain effectively anonymous.
We need far stronger donor transparency, regardless of party, so politics can’t be bought behind closed doors.

Farage’s party has been handed £9 million.
That’s not anti-establishment. It's politics for sale to the highest bidder.
Billionaires bankroll parties to bend the rules. Tax cuts, weaker worker rights, and culture-wars so it slips through unnoticed.
It shouldn't be this easy to purchase influence.

Disgusting comments as a schoolboy can be confronted and owned with a real apology.
But a lifetime of bigotry, and the company he keeps, tells a story Nigel Farage can’t outrun.

Top Farage ally jailed for taking pro-Russia bribes.
Now another, David Coburn, appears in leaked WhatsApps linked to a suspected Russian influence effort.
Coburn denies wrongdoing, but it highlights a pattern of foreign interference around the far-right, and why scrutiny matter more than ever.

When Tommy Robinson is on your side, you’re standing in the wrong place.
He knows he's being handed a win.
They're letting him drag the country closer and closer to his extreme.

Love it or loath it, an independent news broadcaster like the BBC plays an important role in our democracy.
Trump and Farage want to destroy it.
That should worry us all.

🚨 NEW POLL PUTS GREENS IN SECOND, WITH LABOUR FOURTH 🚨
Our voting system is no longer fit for today's politics.
In an election, this sort of result would likely hand Reform UK a majority and shut tens of millions of voices out.
We need a proportional voting system to ensure every voice is heard.

Who does Nigel Farage really work for?
Not Clacton, he’s never there and hardly uses his vote.
But the thought of ANY MP taking a call from a foreign leader to act on their behalf is beyond belief.
This man is finding new depths every day.

The far-right are telling us to turn on each other, all while lining their own pockets.

Farage isn't a party leader. He’s a CEO, working for his property developer and wealth fund investors.
This isn’t just about Farage. But if we don't fix our democracy, it will be Farage and his donors who profit.
