NEW The Harborne Receipts: Follow the Money Billionaire Christopher Harborne gave millions to Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson & their parties. Then the pro-crypto announcements began. We mapped a timeline of Harborne's £30m political donations and crypto-friendly announcements by Farage & Johnson 1/

Idiocy.

All true. Sadly though, you raise taxes you get booted out after one term. You talk about raising taxes and you don't get in in the first place. We spend more than we earn, it's simple Micawber economics

Nigel Farage took £50,000 from crypto firms then said he was "not aware" of the industry funding his party bylinetimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

Nigel Farage has gone all quiet about his friendship with Trump. Let’s not let him distance himself from the trainwreck. Please share this fawning video.

It's hot... 🥵☀️ Make sure to put out plenty of water for birds & wildlife so they can keep cool and have enough to drink. They'll thank you!

2 lovlies on my walk earlier today. A bee orchid and pink sorrel.

My daughter has been growing her hair for the last couple of years to donate at least 12 inches to make wigs for children with no hair. She is cutting it soon - if anyone would like to donate to raise money to support the making of the wigs, please do so here. www.justgiving.com/page/rachel-...

Meanwhile in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Farages Deform Uks untrained so called Councillors are now dropping like flies, but as usual it's been kept away from the main News. 22 of them went within just 2 weeks. thedailybritain.co.uk/reform-counc...

Top drawer decision.

Monthly trip to Farringford yesterday. A brilliant Echium Webbii doing its thing.

open.spotify.com/track/0dV64X... The brilliant Unthanks.

Was very lucky to see the Unthanks perform last night. Superb folk band.

Iow stroll last night. Marigolds by my front drive. Been flowering over a month. Tree lupins and kangaroo paw pop up all over the Duver. Also a Hotentot fig flowering!

A Reform councillor accused of shaming a disabled man and a dyslexic colleague, has been put in charge of Special Educational Needs at his council Sam Journet has faced a barrage of complaints for bullying and intimidation whilst regularly using Meta-style camera glasses to film residents and staff

OK. Let's share, share, share this baby! Show it to anyone who says there is too much immigration, who witters on about migrants and "small boats". Net migration has DROPPED, but voters (thanks to the UK media and our politicians) think it is rising. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Properly shit. Where is the solidarity?

This is what Reform really is. Yobby, racist, ignorant peasants.

PM Starmer on Nigel Farage's £5m 'gift' from Christopher Harborne: "The £5million question is, why did the Reform leader keep this donation secret? "What did the billionaire lining his pockets ask for in return? Those questions need to be answered. That's why he's not here."

PM Starmer to Hannah Spencer MP: "The Greens think their leader walks on water. It turns out he just lives on water and doesn't pay his council tax."

Watching the bleating of Tory Mims whatever from the shires on Newsnight. Labour inherited a shithouse. The simple fact is we don't pay enough tax to cover outgoings. We want public services we cant afford. I would rather limp along with Starmer and hope we get a bit of growth from some stability.

BBC News - Why are people so excited about Swatch's Royal Pop watch? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Is it because they are cretinous?

The rare Glanville Fritillary. A first for me #butterfly

This explains simply why we can't keep a PM.

Took my mum for a visit to Hever Castle, haven't visited in years. Loved strolling about the gardens.

Some great stuff on bluesky this morning. I repost far too much!

One Tory act of vandalism following their 2010 victory was cutting funding to Gordon Brown’s Sure Start programme, eventually closing 1400 centres, which had made significant differences to life chances. One of Starmer’s failings is not shouting about bringing them back. I only found out today. ⬇️

This beautiful cloisonné brooch is made of gold, garnet, multicolored glass and pearls. It dates to the time of Charlemagne & was discovered in a well in Dorestad. What a great find. 🕰️ c800 AD 🏛️📷Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 🇳🇱 #FindsFriday

Sobering stuff from David Blunkett in the @financialtimes.com

Another Reform candidate resigns after vetting failure – and councils are forced to pick up the bill

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Shocked to read that 10% of all wine sold is now pink. We all like an occasional glass of Rosé on the occasional hot day we get, but 10%?! In France, it's more than 30%. Madness.

My Garden of a Thousand Bees: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002t686 via @bbciplayer Gosh this is a super programme.

Garden's looking half decent in the drizzle.

Wake up America, he's taking you for mugs every day.

Another day - another variation of a story Widely reported paid £1.5million for appearance (tax would be £550k - £700k) - so that fails to explain a third to a half of the house purchase Farage paid for £1.4m house with I'm a Celebrity cash, says Reform

Has Putin sold a bit of his Trump action to China?

Nigel Farage: Christopher Harborne paid me £5 million for making Brexit happen. He and Reform UK have already said Brexit is making Britain poorer. So by his own admission: Farage is literally feeding off British poverty. FUCKING TRAITOR!

What a world we live in. How can the idiots voting for Farage not see it's the same thing? Horrific corruption.

Terrifying

👏 "I don't know how anybody can vote for Reform considering how much of a disaster Brexit has been." "And Farage is the architect of Brexit, that's been a disaster and if he was to be in the government it would be a disaster as well."

Such an obvious, easy win.

“When it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Nigel Farage and his finances, there is barely a squeak from the British press”, writes Alan Rusbridger
