80% of the Reform UK political donations came from persons/companies based abroad.
People not permanently resident in the UK or paying taxes subverting UK politics.
What have they been promised in return?
Political donations are bribes, must be banned.

โผ๏ธ Britain has spent years desperately searching for a growth strategy while refusing to confront the enormous economic barrier we erected ourselves.
Now the FT Economics Editor asks whether @andyburnham may finally be โstumbling towards a pro-growth policy that actually shifts the dialโ.
Reintegrating Britain with the European economy.
Goldman Sachs estimates:
Customs union: around +1% GDP
Single Market: around +2โ5% GDP
The OBR estimates Brexit itself has reduced Britainโs potential productivity by 4%.
And the really interesting part is that I nvestors are starting to sit up and pay attention.
This is why the argument that reopening Britainโs relationship with Europe simply creates another โdust cloud of uncertaintyโ gets it backwards.
Brexit created barriers, uncertainty and lost investment.
Undoing Brexit is the biggest pro-growth reform available to Britain.
Fixing Brexit may turn out to be Burnhamโs growth strategy. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐บ

BREAKING: COWARD ON THE RUN! Trump pal Flรกvio Bolsonaro has reportedly FLED Brazil for Florida to seek asylum after losing to Lula and dodging a court order to surrender his passport.
Like father, like son. Four years after former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro skipped town to Florida after losing an election to Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva, his son appears to have done THE EXACT SAME THING, only this time with a money-laundering investigation hot on his heels.
Flรกvio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazilโs presidential election on Sunday, missed a Tuesday-morning deadline to hand his passports to federal police. According to The Guardian, the Brazilian news site Metrรณpoles reported, citing people close to the family, that he was on a plane to the United States, would land in Florida Tuesday afternoon, and planned to request political asylum. โThe Donald Trump administration has been informed,โ the site added.
CNN Brasil reported he left with his wife and two daughters in the early hours of the morning. Allies told Folha de S.Paulo the escape was โorganized and enabled by a lawyer close to the Bolsonaro clan.โ
The route was reportedly cinematic. Argentine outlets said he crossed into Argentina, possibly on foot, planning to board a private jet in Puerto Iguazรบ, then ditched the plane once word leaked. Brazilian police say thereโs no record of him passing any official border checkpoint, and The Washington Post reports officials still donโt know where he is. His phone returns an out-of-service message. His usually nonstop Instagram has gone silent.
Hereโs the kicker. On Monday, after his passport was canceled, Bolsonaro posted a video declaring: โI never thought about leaving the country.โ Yeah, right.
Why the rush? A Supreme Court justice canceled his passport minutes after the results came in, tied to a federal investigation into his possible involvement in a money-laundering scheme worth about $905 million involving betting companies. A family adviser told the Post he was โterrified,โ worried heโd be jailed this week. O Globo reported he appeared โpossessedโ and afraid of arrest in a Monday meeting. His camp calls it political persecution.
The family track record isnโt helping. His father is under house arrest after being sentenced to more than 27 years for plotting a coup. His brother Eduardo, sentenced to four years for lobbying Trump to sanction the judges in their fatherโs case, is already living in Texas, beyond the reach of Brazilian law. Heโd said last week that Flรกvio should leave if he lost.
Lulaโs Workersโ Party has asked the Supreme Court to order Flรกvioโs arrest and put him on Interpolโs Red Notice list. The State Department and Homeland Security didnโt immediately respond to questions.
So, the Trump administration that deports grandfathers in their pajamas may soon be asked to welcome a fugitive senator dodging a money-laundering probe. Florida is starting to look less like a state and more like a getaway car for Trumpโs friends. And we thought Trumpโs goal was to deport criminal aliens, not import them.
Bolsonaroโs escape to a foreign country provides Americans with a preview of what may happen to the Trump family and the most infamous members of his administration once they are removed from their positions of power. Except the country theyโre most likely to flee to is Vladimir Putinโs Russia.
Please like and share if you think Flavio Bolsonaro is a criminal coward JUST LIKE TRUMP!

โDo you understand who you are dealing with? This is America. Back up.โ
A United Nations meeting was dramatically suspended yesterday after US ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodrรญguez Parrilla both ignored the chairโs plea for order in the chamber.
The problem started when Waltz blamed Cubans for the shocking US embargoes and blockades that are causing huge suffering to the people of the island.
Cuban representatives, astonished at the way Waltz blamed the victims for the crisis, in their eyes, stood up and objected, citing Rule 71, which allows listeners to raise a point of order.
Ambassador Waltz responded that the Cubans didnโt like the substance of his speech, so were not raising a point of order.
But when complaints continued, this caused Ambassador Waltz to lose his temper and shout โBack up! Back away. Do you understand what youโre dealing with? This is America.โ
.
INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY
The rest of the United Nations was outraged by this attitude, as the UN building is legally international territory.
When Waltz refused to stop his tirade, Khalilur Rahman, chair of the 81st session, ordered that the meeting be instantly suspended. Waltz ignored him.
The meeting was then resumed, but footage of the argument created a huge storm on social media.
Some people in the US defended Waltzโs narrative, blaming Cubans for the suffering caused by the US embargos.
But much of the commentary from the rest of the world said that the United Nations, for the safety of the delegates and the organization itself, should no longer be situated in New York.
When New York was originally chosen as the site, the US pledged not to politicize US visa access to meetingsโbut has regularly broken the pledge, such as refusing to allow visas for Palestinians.

Madeley: "Do you think welfare spendings out of control?"
Maguire: "I don't think its out of control if you look at the total figure.. its only 10.6% of the economy, which is low by European standards"
Singh: "And over half of the welfare budget is pensions, the state pension"

Channel 4 Dispatches went undercover inside the Financial Ombudsman Service @financialombuds. What they filmed should have shut the place down.
Their own staff said this on camera:
"I'm not proud to admit it but I've done it myself. Just taken a chance and just slung stuff through, with any old decision."
"You're more likely to meet your targets if you're not upholding them."
11,000 cases fell into a black hole for two years. Some of those letters said "I am going to lose my house."
@UKParliament demanded answers. Baroness Ros Altmann called it shocking. MPs threatened a full inquiry.
FOS said the footage was "not representative."
Nothing changed.
Fast forward to today. My own complaint against @rsagroup / @IntactInsurance is now being formally handled by Gary Smith @G8GWS of @MeridianLegals.
Gary is the lawyer leading the FOS Litigation Group, a group built on over 1,000 documented FOS failures. He is preparing a judicial review of the FOS.
My case has been submitted by Meridian as my regulated representative because what happened to me fits the same pattern Channel 4 filmed.
If you have had a complaint dismissed by the FOS and you believe it was handled without proper scrutiny, contact Gary directly at Meridian Legal Services.

The full transcript of what @C4Dispatches filmed inside the FOS is in the comments.

๐บ โWe reported events one-sidedly for yearsโ: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vuฤiฤ's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory โ scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
โFor years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,โ news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad ฤaฤiฤ resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbรกn's election defeat.
๐๐ Serbia celebrates Vuฤiฤ's defeat all night โ now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia
After 14 years of Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass anti-government protests, has claimed victory.
According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vuฤiฤ's coalition received approximately 39%.
The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135โ140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament.
But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vuฤiฤ claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April.
Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets.
Final election results are still pending.
A lesson for us all.

๐จ BREAKING: Mike Johnson in full panic mode after voting in his own race, declaring, "Too many Democrats are voting."
Wtf. Too many Democrats? Or too many voters Johnson doesn't like?
Conrad Cable is making him lose sleep in DEEP RED Louisiana and maybe even lose his seat.
More than 363,000 people voted in just five days of early voting, nearly matching the entire turnout from 2022.
But here's the thingโฆ Democrats are outnumbering Republicans among early voters: 43% are registered Democrats, compared to 39% Republicans.
In October 2024, Republicans led early voting by roughly 36,000. This year, Democrats have the advantage.
And the clearest proof they're terrified is Johnson's insane comments about "too many Democrats voting" and Trump just having to endorse him again. Seriously, that looks like he's worried.
If Johnson doesn't hit 50% in the Nov 3rd elections, he's being forced into a runoff in Dec, which would set up a runoff against Conrad Cable.
Let's make it happen. Give Mike Johnson hell.
Support Conrad Cable. LFG!

Flรกvio Bolsonaro fleeing to Florida is no anomaly. Under Trump's corrupt authoritarian regime, America is fast becoming a sanctuary for deposed dictators, aspiring autocrats, and fugitive pedophiles. The deranged psychopath is rapidly transforming the country into the ultimate safe haven for far-right criminals fleeing justice.

Fun fact.
The Switzerlands largest supermarket, Migros, doesnโt sell alcohol or tobacco in stores, pays no dividends, caps profits by lowering prices if earnings exceeds 5%, is a cooperative with 2M+ members, and donates 1% of revenue to social projects, purely out of the founders moral philosophy.
