Farage has taken funding from a convicted criminal, including paying 3 staff to run his social media
As for Lab asking what Farages donors got in return, quite! I suppose its just coincidence that Lab has taken £ from super rich private Health donors & refused to introduce wealth taxes and has overseen a further increase in private health profiteering in NHS
Labour not averse to cash from convicted criminals
And let us not forgot a party who's biggest ever donation (from a foreign resident too) was stolen from the vulnerable and never returned because "we've spent it":
I'm not convinced by the "he's resigning to call a by-election" theory. I suspect the other parties would just choose not to stand, thereby making him look like a tit. But who knows.
The Democrats have less than a week to get their shit together.
We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins.
In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly. Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.
As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her. There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident.
A by-election in Clacton could embarrass the mainstream parties because it would probably end up being a battle between Reform and Restore, with the potential for lost deposits for everyone else.
Its going to be on the news channel that you can get off the BBC website. They are desperately filling and I wonder how long they are going to keep this up or cut off to Harry's judgment. Edit. Gone back to a screen saying he is going to make a statement.
I expect we’ll get a tirade about the left wing media which in Farage’s mind includes the Times and how the poor thing has been so badly treated yawn !
Restore Britain will deport foreign nationals living in our country who are incapable of speaking English.
400k Brits live in Spain, over 85% can’t speak Spanish.
300k Brits live in the Gulf, over 95% can’t speak Arabic.
Hmm
There is no fucking way that 1 in 20 beer soaked, Clarkson bellied British expats in the Gulf speak Arabic, whether MSA or dialect, to any functional level.
Not every Brit in the Gulf meets your desciption. For starters, there will be plenty of people who born in UK or have British citizenship who are dispora of Arabic speaking countries and moved to the Gulf for exactly the reason they can navigate between English and Arabic and so very employable professionals.
Re Ex-pats in Spain. Of all the foreign languages to learn, Spanish has to be one of the easiest to gain a reasonable level of fluency. Pronunication is reasonably easy (a lot easier than Portuguese) and there is no really tricky grammer (looking at you German) or different character set (Eastern European / Asian languages).
Idiots like BJo and Dura Ace are full of bullshit stereotypes about Brits abroad, indeed about other things as well. Ignore.
I hope Big Nige's video address to the nation starts with him kneeling in a kimono with a wakizashi in front of him.
With boy George in the Morita role to botch the decaptation.
Boy George is more of a handcuffs and radiator kind of guy.
I was thinking more of George Cottrell as the youthful 'admirer'.
'Mishima then committed seppuku, a form of ritual suicide by disembowelment associated with the samurai. Morita had been assigned to serve as Mishima's second (kaishakunin), cutting off his head with a sword at the end of the rite to spare him unnecessary pain. However, Morita proved unable to complete his task, and after three failed attempts to sever Mishima's head, Hiroyasu Koga had to step in and complete the task'
I wonder when the last time I've heard such self serving pathetic claptrap was. It's probably all the way back to yesterday and Infantino's statement, which at least had the benefit of brevity and hilarity.
He isn't going anywhere. Its a party politicial broadcast for the Reform Party.
He does have a point about publishing politicians homes. Sunak, Corbyn, Big Ange, all had their homes attacks after the media published pictures of them. I don't think you need to publish a picture of the property to stand up a story.
It's playing to his audience. And to that degree probably successfully. However. It's only going to harden the resolve of the two thirds who don't want him anywhere near government. His list of moans seem to be about stuff which is par for the course for politicians of all other stripes.
He's got the seeds of some good stuff in this speech, but my god this is so self indulgent. Pitty poor Nigel, him against the world.
Epitaph for Reform.
Apart from the 'seeds of good stuff.'
The seeds are there - he's a populist, he knows how to generate grievance. To do that you need to be able to make seemingly coherent arguments about what's wrong.
Well that took several hand brake turns. But he is pulling a David Davis. Risky as voters don't generally like being asked to vote for self indulgence.

And I imagine Labour, the Tories and the Greens will say "— this" and refuse to stand. The Greens might.

We'll get to test Andy's Reform v Restore and everybody else lose their deposits theory.

Or can they stall it so the writ is not moved before the recess? By which time the report may be available...
What happens if he wins the by-election, then the standards committee say suspended from the house for period that can result in recall, then a recall comes in and we have yet an other by-election?
The Press will be happy that they have something other than Burnham to talk about over the summer then. Unless parliament refuses to move the writ until they come back in September. Which would be funny.

Has Farage thought this through? This won't stop the inquiry into the undeclared gifts so he could win a by-election and then be forced to face another by-election if the standards committee is feeling bloody-minded (and there are no Reform MPs on it).
ETA scooped by FrancisUrquhart. The clue is in the name, I suppose.

Then we all talk about Nigel Farage in an endless loop. We've been reborn in Hell.
True purpose here is surely to try and kill off Restore eating into the Reform vote at the next GE by winning a comfortable victory over them? Whether that works remains to be seen.

This information is still developing and we will provide updates in a thread in the comments of this post as we receive it.

What the actual fuck is wrong with the Maine senate candidates Jesus Christ

Wait till you hear the shit we heard about other prominent Maine Democrats that we are not yet choosing to share.

(FWIW these people endorsed Platner prior to the recent story.

Edit. Gone back to a screen saying he is going to make a statement.
Failed to prove allegations
😂😂😂😂
Prince Harry loses privacy case against Mail newspaper group.
Which should be rather amusing. Mr Sussex is likely bankrupt or close to it.
Nothing new.
He's not resigning. (Hope I'm wrong)
Maybe he should set up a go fund me page , the poor thing will soon be destitute !

How's that going ?

But somehow we're not laughing...
but standing in the Clacton bye election.
Not resigned as leader of Reform.
I switched off just before that.
So that leaves some interesting tactical questions for the other parties.
“People versus establishment election “.
If he wins the investigation just re-starts .
lying corrupt grifter .
Maybe a relative of one?
Standards *are* a political tool. Those that don’t pass them, fail at politics. Or should do. See the Parliamentary Standards committee etc.

So if Nigel wins, he will still be subject to whatever the punishment is and so he could win and still be subject to a recall by election
This is our change to kill Farage's career.
