Trump is sabotaging action on climate change and health, and Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage are cheering him on.

Our government must draw a line in the sand and call out this dangerous rollback.

The Electoral Commission's verdict is frank: "These provisions would not reduce the risk of foreign money entering British politics through companies."

From - www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/defaul...
There's some welcome news in this, but government hugely overstates it in claiming plans will end ability for foreign actors to use money to interfere in our elections. They will still be able to; in some cases they'll need a willing UK accomplice... www.gov.uk/government/n...
Tougher rules on political interference to keep UK elections secure
Foreign actors will no longer be able to use their money to interfere in the UK’s elections, as part of the biggest expansion of democratic participation in a generation

I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.

Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

The chaos of today is just like the years of Conservative rule. Frequent changes of Prime Minister, instability & no chance to fix the profound issues we face. It started in 2016 with Brexit and the country has become ungovernable since.

Labour promised change, instead we're seeing the same old chaos as under the Conservative Party.

No wonder the public are so fed up.

The PM should hold a confidence vote now so the government can focus on fixing the cost-of-living crisis, the NHS and the economy.

Just as with Donald Trump, the Prime Minister approached negotiations with China from a position of weakness, not strength.

The Government should be focusing on the closest possible ties with our European and Commonwealth allies, and other nations that share our values.
