"If"?

Given that their aims have been to gain immense power through this in massively consequential ways, they really should face maximum penalties for this. This isn't a moderate issue. This is about conning an entire nation with the aim of obtaining personal power. It's time this was taken seriously.

Yep...all roads lead back to the same dark influences from the American Christian nationalist right and Russia...I would bet my house on it. The polling firm in the expose are connected with the US CN movement...they are insidious and dangerous and everywhere.

Bravo 👏

I imagine they’ll do a copy-paste of the Brexit referendum “investigation” into illegal overspending and data use: EC will “refer the matter to the police to decide if criminal standards met”. Police will then say “no investigation as EC did not state clearly it was a criminal matter”.

BBC Newsnight major story. They do have to be careful imo.

Utterly disgraceful. Didn't apoear on Guardian website until about 20.50. but that may have been due to time #c4news +1 had finished coverage.

Yes, it was all they were talking about when I looked at BBC News 24 earlier And nothing on the website... Oh no. Look! BBC News - Chris Mason: 'Not what Nigel Farage wanted today to look like' - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Admittedly things have notably improved since then with the two suspensions as the lead story on the website.

17 August.

Yawn... 🥱 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good luck irrelevant Ed.

Held fully accountable how?

Bet they aren't.

And the Verbatim video is even better m.youtube.com/watch?v=RugP...

"if"??? surely that should be "as this evidence seems to clearly show"

Well I hope they do - it is not actually a surprise though is it? And I fear those that vote for them will not be put off in any way.

It's a business, that makes it corporate fraud, close down, arrest and imprison.

Chief Whip: Very serious. Hacker: I see. Chief Whip: Serious repercussions. Sir Humphrey: ...of the utmost seriousness. Hacker: Yes, that is serious. Chief Whip: I would say that it could hardly be more serious. Hacker: Well, I think we're all agreed, then, this is serious.

Are rich people ever found accountable any more? Because it doesn't feel like it.

Let's hope the police also investigate your role in the postmaster scandal.

"If"?

Its not if Ed ....its clear that they did

Come on Ed.

"If" Are you deaf?

I rather think that many Reform voters, those who fall for his ‘anti-establishment’ and ‘man of the people’ shtick, will be as shocked by the casual lunch meetings at Claridges, or over oysters and ‘black velvet’ (Guinness plus champagne, as Farage helpfully explains!) as about the grifting!

I’m no expert but I read it that way. The heading of the section is “Offences concerned with evasion of restrictions on donations.” It’s not the receipt of an ineligible donation that’s the offence (other sections cover that) but the evasion of restrictions.
