🚨 Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations. Sign the petition to stop shady crypto donations flooding our politics: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/stop-sha...
Shady billionaires can quietly pour money into our elections, completely hidden from view.
Join me and add your name to the petition to stop this.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
