I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

The Nigel Farage and Reform foreign donations scandal excluded from all but one national newspaper front page this morning. No sign of it at all on the front pages of the two papers which splashed the polls secretly funded by a Reform donor earlier this year

People of Clacton - it's time to send a message to The Establishment! You know who I mean - the privately educated millionaires who walked into city trader jobs then became career politicians. So you know what to do - vote Binface! #VoteBinface #Clacton

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.

1/20 Yesterday another commercial seafarer lost his life in the Strait of Hormuz. Before anything else, that is why this analysis matters. The human cost has always been the centre of this crisis, even when headlines focused elsewhere. #Hormuz #Shipping

The National Crime Agency have been "unable to identify the original source" of a £1m donation to a Reform fundraising vehicle. The NCA is now "seeking help from a foreign partner" in order to identify it www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage £5 million 'gift' from a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it was money laundering. The whistleblowers alerted the NCA as they were "not satisfied they could trace the ultimate origin of the funds."

Nigel Farage has spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

Bob reposted

Keir Starmer at PMQs: “The £5m question still remains, why is the leader of Reform UK dodging questions about his donation and why did he keep it secret in the first place?”

I expect Farage to ignore the wishes of a dead man’s family, he’s disgusting and has no regard for anything beyond stoking hatred. But why are media outlets giving him airtime? Henry Nowak’s family clearly said they didn’t want his death to be used this way. Our media is as much a problem as Reform

Bob reposted

Utterly disgusting that this killing is getting hijacked and used in this appalling way. These people should be ashamed of themselves - only they don't know what shame is.

Huw Davies@huwcdavies.bsky.social

Got to be one of the most inflammatory statements ever broadcast on the BBC, let alone a current affairs show. Apparently, there’s a ‘regime’ that for ‘30 years’ has been operating against the interests of whites.

Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

Was it a gift? Was it for security? Was it for Brexit? Was it for a house? FFS. Farage must think we’re all really thick. It was a £5million bribe from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire who wants his man in power so he’ll remove consumer protections and rocket-boost crypto trading. Inquiry done.

And here’s a convicted criminal paying for Farage’s security long after he secretly accepted £5 million from Christopher Harborne supposedly to pay for his security.

NEW: On the £5mn Harborne gift (which Farage says he didn’t have to declare because it was to cover his security before he became an MP) Farage did declare a donation from George Cottrell in mid-April 2024, which covered his accommodation and travel and “security provision”.

I’m a big believer in coincidences. Like that time I wasn’t going to be an MP, then a crypto billionaire gave me £5 million and by total coincidence I decided to become an MP who passionately supports tax breaks for crypto billionaires.

How about a criminal investigation and a permanent ban from public life for taking bribes and lying to the electorate? A wrist slap for breaching a code, a suspension and by-election is more prize than punishment for tantrum-prone Farage who’s barely an MP anyway. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

If the mainstream press refuses to investigate Reform’s candidates and their scandalous backgrounds and attitudes, I guess @bylinetimes.bsky.social will have to do it. These are just some of our exclusives from the last couple of days Www.bylinetimes.com
