Ben Delo is many things: a crypto billionaire, a Reform mega-donor and a free speech advocate. @oilsheppard.bsky.social and I discovered he's also the landlord of a bankrupt academic after funding her failed libel claim against a Jewish artist who complained of antisemism www.ft.com/content/21aa...

Very 🤔 from the Guardian. A shame because the piece delves into aspects of the trial we didn’t have room for (as we used up a lot of word count revealing how Delo took control of Power’s property after the trial etc) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Perhaps the Guardian has fallen on such hard times that no-one can afford a subscription to the Financial Times?

Fair play. It was nice they drew out some different things to us from a complex situation as I said.

FT story carefully worded, but some more detail on the people Delo was backing here bsky.app/profile/luke...

As Ben Delo's record £36m Reform donation is headline news, I can't emphasise enough that the media ought to be reporting on Delo's heinous funding of antisemitic conspiracy theorists in the High Court – anonymous contributors to the horrifying neo-Nazi account shown below. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Ben Delo doesn't exactly try to wear his scholarship lightly - at every opportunity he wants to be photographed in front of a blackboard covered in equations.
