There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Reform UK’s £9m donation just got more curious. Donor Christopher Harborne—aka Chakrit Sakunkrit—has spent two decades in Thailand, funded Brexit, and was linked to a company that later won an £80m MoD contract. Issy & Poppy say: muy sospechoso… 🐾👉 tinyurl.com/sakunkrit #IssyAndPoppyInvestigate

Three men fund 75% of Reform. Thailand donor: £9m. Daily Mail owner’s wife: £50k. Speaks volumes about the DMs future intention. 💰 #Politics #ReformUK #BigMoney”

Nigel Farage faces claims of racism. Still waiting for equal scrutiny on Russian funding in UKIP/Brexit/Reform or the Clacton house linked to him/them/her. #Politics #Transparency #Farage

Christopher Harborne, domiciled in Thailand, has recently donated nine (9) million pounds to Reform UK. I wonder what he wants in return?

It’s a disgrace that Spain’s 2023 animal-welfare law excludes hunting dogs. These dogs—often abandoned or mistreated after the season—are left without the protections given to companion animals. A glaring loophole in a law meant to be progressive. theflexiblechef.co.uk/spanish-anim... #Greyhounds

Nathan Gill’s sentence landed today. I’d guess some of these folks are feeling a bit uneasy — he offered to introduce other MEPs. Farage, Nuttall, Diane James, Woolfe, O’Flynn, Finch, Parker, Collins, Etheridge, Arnott, Bours, Hookem, Bullock, Carver, Helmer, Batten.

Richard Tice — Reform UK leader, Farage sidekick — somehow the Kremlin’s contradiction in chief. He praised Nathan Gill (now jailed for 10.5 years for pro‑Russia bribes) and accepted hospitality from a donor tied to Russia. Funny how that works. 👉 tinyurl.com/4m26u98a
