Farage’s White Lives Matter rhetoric marked a dangerous escalation in Reform’s race to the bottom with Restore Britain. What began as dog-whistles has become something much louder, uglier, and harder to control. Read the full piece over on Ugly Politix

Democracy is not only defended at the ballot box. It's also defended through secure infrastructure, resilient institutions, and public trust strong enough to resist hostile interference. GCHQ’s warning is a reminder that these things are now inseparable.

Our new report 'Russian Interference in British Politics' warns UK is dangerously unprepared for foreign interference in elections. We’re calling for a public inquiry into foreign interference in UK politics & stronger democratic safeguards. Full report: tinyurl.com/OB-RI-Report

One things for sure, it's not the taxpayer or his constituents. Shortly after receiving £5 million from Christopher Harborne, Farage reportedly bought a £1.4 million property in cash.

Wes Streeting has resigned as Health Secretary to challenge Starmer's leadership. “It is now clear that you will not lead Labour into the next General Election. It needs the best possible field of candidates. I support that approach and I hope that you will facilitate this."

Harborne's donations now total over £27 million One ultra-wealthy man bankrolling a political project When Farage is championing crypto donations, a state-owned bitcoin reserve, deregulation, and lower taxes for the sector, people are entitled to ask Has influence been bought?

The far-right is building the machinery to shape the debate. 📰 Media outlets 📢 Campaign groups 💰 Donor networks It lets them bypass the rules, create false impartiality, and drag debate to the extreme. People deserve transparency and a level political playing field.

Pressure is mounting on Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister, following a calamitous set of elections and record low poll ratings. What do you think, is it time for him to go?

Expect even more candidates winning when most people voted against them. This is a warning sign for what could come at the next General Election. When votes are split, turnout is low, and our electoral system rewards division, people lose faith in politics. Our democracy is broken.

What does an ultra-wealthy donor get in return for an undisclosed £5 million "personal" gift? People have a right to know how money is shaping our politics.

Not a declared donation. Not party funding. A personal gift. So people are left asking the obvious question: What does someone get in return for giving Farage £5 million? Democracy should not be routed around transparency rules. And it should never be for sale.

Our democracy is dangerously open to foreign interference, but without an inquiry we'll never know the scale of the problem or how we can fix it. Agree? Add your name https://actionstorm.org/petitions/foreign-interference

Trump is attacking democratic norms. Whipping up division. And Britain is giving him the royal treatment. We should be standing up for democracy. Rule of law. Accountability. Not flattering strongman politics with pomp and ceremony. Authoritarian politics should be condemed, not celebrated.

When trust in politics is already dangerously low, the public deserve transparency, accountability, and the truth. MPs are set to vote on whether Keir Starmer should be investigated over allegations he misled Parliament on the Mandelson scandal.

Patriotism is more than flags and slogans 🇬🇧 If we want people to feel proud of this country, we need to give them a real stake in it. Homes, dignity, honest history, and a democracy they can actually shape. Read more at uglypolitix.com/p/patriotism-and-democracy-go-hand

Shabana Mahmood was accused of “out-Reforming Reform”. She hit back claiming they were trying to “delegitimise” her “perfectly valid” views, saying they can "f*ck right off."

Olly Robbins said he was made to feel “uncomfortable” when pressured by Number 10 to find an ambassador role for Starmers Director of Communications, Matthew Doyle.

Diane Abbott expertly tears down Keir Starmer’s lack of judgement over Peter Mandelson appointment.

Ed Davey calls on Keir Starmer to resign over Peter Mandelson failures

MPs laugh as Starmer says he knows “many will find these facts to be incredible” regarding failures over the Mandelson security vetting.

Is this the end of the road for Keir Starmer? Warning signs were there before Mandelson's appointment. Starmer was warned to complete security clearance. This raises bigger questions about Judgment Standards Whether basic safeguards were taken seriously enough at the top of government.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Foreign interference is a real threat to our democracy. But without a full enquiry, we'll never know the full extent or how to defend against it.

Keir Starmer rips into Kemi Badenoch’s support for Trump’s war in the Middle East, before being slapped down by the Speaker for not answering the question.

“Taking advice from [the Conservatives] on reforming welfare and defence spending is like asking Liz Truss how to keep your mortgage down.”

The answer to populism is not to imitate it. It is to offer something better. A politics people can believe in. The MPs answer is a more positive offer than yet more fear and division: ⚡️ Lower bills 🇪🇺 Closer ties with Europe 🌍 Robust defence of climate action 🇺🇸 Less dependence on the USA

Democracy can still fight back. Hungary just proved that change is never impossible 🇭🇺

Argentina is a warning 🇦🇷 Its president faces allegations over promoting crypto. It surged, then crashed. Influence bought. Politicians profit. Public pays. Farage has promoted crypto and his party bankrolled by billionaires. Crypto money is getting too close to politics.

Viktor Orbán has spent years hollowing out democracy. Tomorrow, voters get the chance to push back. Hungary’s election matters far beyond Hungary. It could show that the far-right can be beaten. That the authoritarian slide is not inevitable. Or permanent.

Sadiq Khan called it the outrage economy. A system where fear and division are amplified because they are profitable, financially and politically. That is not just bad for the internet. It is bad for democracy. And it's creating real world harm.

The new overseas donation cap may close one loophole. But it doesn't remove big money and vested interests from our politics. Reform billionaire donor Ben Delo’s response shows exactly why.

Desperate 😅

People want change. But outlandish, impossible promises won't solve people's woes. It'll only deepen disillusionment and division. Driving people further to the extremes.

Democracy does not defend itself. It relies on people who are willing to stand up for fair elections, honest politics, and a system that works for everyone, not just the powerful. That is why we have launched the UK Democracy Lottery. Play today: ukdemocracylottery.co.uk

People want choice. Instead they're left with a broken system. We need Proportional Representation. Now.

People want real choice. They want hope. They want a positive alternative. But our voting system keeps suppressing choice and fuelling division. Britain is multi-party. Our democracy should reflect that.

Happy to hear that Jonathan the tortoise is indeed still alive. But not everything from the 1800s has aged so magnificently… Our voting system for a start.

When a party is built around Nigel Farage’s image, instead of strong people and serious organisation, chaos is inevitable.

We’ve just launched the UK Democracy Lottery 🎉 It’s a simple way to support our work defending democracy, while having the chance to win prizes from just £1. And it’s already paying off – last week we had ten winners, including two cash winners!

Reform insiders are worried that links to Andrew Tate, Tommy Robinson and other extreme figures could repel the newer voters Nigel Farage needs, especially women. Their problem is bigger than just one rotten apple.

In other words, Reform UK were sore losers. Straight out of the Donald Trump playbook. When the results don't go your way, call foul play and discredit them. They're not interested in fixing anger and disillusionment. They're fuelling it for their own gain.

“Reform UK has nothing to offer but chaos, grievance, and division.”

A step in the right direction. If money is shaping our politics, the public deserves to know who is paying, who is benefiting, and who is being heard. Democracy works best when voters can see clearly who is trying to buy influence.

The government says it wants to clean up politics. But its Bill still leaves loopholes that are too easy to exploit. Parliament should either ban corporate donations outright. Or strengthen the rules properly. Hidden influence has no place in our democracy.

Our democracy is becoming a playground for mega-donors. The latest donation data showed Reform UK took another £3million from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. Helping drive nearly £65m in donations across UK parties in 2025. That is not healthy democracy. It is a billionaire arms race.

Transparency alone is not enough. The bigger question is why so much political power can still be concentrated in so few hands. We need bans or significant restrictions on corporate and foreign donations. Voters should influence decisions. Not the elite.

More than £170 MILLION flowed into populist-right media in just a few years 🤑 That should worry EVERYONE. This is not just about party donations anymore. It's about who is purchasing our democracy... While the rest of us lose.

💸 The elections bill still leaves corporate donation loopholes too easy to exploit 🏢 Opaque company structures can still hide who is really funding politics 🗳️ If ministers are serious, they should ban corporate donations or toughen the rules properly 🚫 Democracy cannot be for sale
