Labour, Tories, Libdem and the Pseudo Greens are more interested in attacking Reform than sorting out the mess the UK is in.
Labour keep talking about thresholds being reached, well here is a cracker. Labour are now spending the same on foreign aid than they are on our roads*.
fiscal year 2025/26 both now £10bn =20%.
*All Vehicle taxes, associated VATs, 10% of council rates all come to ~£50bn
Indeed: Right back at her:
Labour get a helluva lot more funding than Reform....Where do they get some of that from?
Well, Labour get massive funding from the Unions, who in turn get it from workers subscriptions who are not even aware a chunk of it ends up in the Labour Parties funds and probably pockets, and there is no mechanism for the members to opt out of that take by stealth.
"Who is bankrolling Nigel Farage's party?" asks Bridget Phillipson. "Labour will protect our democracy from foreign influence."
Right. Same question back.
Who is bankrolling Labour, and the machine around it?
Gary Lubner. South African. Former Autoglass chief. Millions.
Lord Alli. Buys the clothes, lends the flat.
George Soros. Money into Best for Britain and Fair Vote, routed through a London outpost, which is how a foreign fortune gets round a ban on foreign donations.
Pierre Omidyar. French-Iranian, eBay founder, funding the campaign groups.
Bill Gates. In for the photo call.
Swedish philanthropists. Bloomberg.
And Verbatim, which made the Channel 4 sting she is riding, is itself funded from abroad. So the watchdog on foreign money is on foreign money.
And those are off the top of my head. No research. Give me an afternoon and the list fills a page.
So the party promising to protect democracy from foreign influence is up to its neck in it, legally, through the same door, and has proposed no cap that would inconvenience a single person in the room. They held a drinks party for them in Downing Street.
The question is not who is bankrolling Farage. It is why Labour thinks the answer changes depending on whose name is on the cheque.
"Protect our democracy from foreign influence." They would not know where to start.
Bernard I do not believe anything any politician says. You lot lie for a living.
essexlive.news/news/essex-ne… My message to those who might vote ReformUK at the next General Election…. Just imagine if the whole country was being run like this! With a ReformUK government in Whitehall??
They are a Uni-Party who each just take terms in office bleeding us dry and when out of office just conveniently blame each other.
As an "Old School" retired Oil & Gas industry Construction Superintendent and QA / QC Manager then an Oil industry Cost Control Service Manager I could spot a bluffer, an Imposter, not by what they said but by their body language, their mannerisms, their ability to listen without interrupting, and Kemi ticks all the boxes for an Imposter.
Breaking my arse Thomas
🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage pretends he is not close to man responsible for calling Kemi Badenoch a ‘Nigerian scammer’, Raheem Kassam, despite photographic evidence. It appears they’re that close, they wear matching coats.
More to follow, as Reform launch an internal investigation to establish the facts of whether they’ve ever actually met.
Based on 1,100 people! Come on keep it sensible please. This is Uni-Party propaganda folks.
This is based on 0.002% of UK voters and really an extrapolation to far by any measure.
I have also no doubt whatsoever that they offset their Income tax by simply putting it on their expenses.
And what makes me think that?
Because they are greedy bastards.
This new bill is an absolute JOKE!
The Public Office (Accountability) Bill, FORCES public authorities and public officials to tell the truth or they face TWO years in prison, problem is they've added a clause to EXCLUDE anyone in the Houses of parliament!
So basically MPs and above can just carry on lying and deceiving the public and they will be PROTECTED BY THIS BILL

They really do take us for mugs!
Again the Left are filling in blanks for a what was a "no comment". This is like someone getting stabbed in the street and arresting a passer by as an accomplice for for not saying stop.
It has now been invaded by bicycles.
I wasn’t expecting walking down the middle of the newly pedestrianised Oxford Street to feel so lovely (never a word I’ve used for Oxford St before!). It instantly feels like something that should have been done years ago.
Well done, @MayorofLondon, for finally getting it done.
ALT The section of Oxford Street in central London that has just been pedestrianised. There are crowds of people walking across the full width of the street. Christmas decorations are already hanging across the street.
It's the Evil Ghost lurking in her Nigerian genes IMO.
Kemi wants another murder.
Kemi Badenoch using pure hate speech and lies, nothing but hate comparing Reform to the fight against the rise of Nazism in Britain.

It was shite mate:

Fantastic interviewing from the BBC’s @sallynugent.
Imagine if Farage had got this kind of scrutiny and persistent questioning from UK media interviewers over the past decade? The UK might not be in the mess it is today.
Look how annoyed and uncomfortable he is.
