Despite claiming to represent a break with the current political establishment, Reform is largely funded by ex-Tory donors with links to fossil fuels, the financial services industry and an unusual high number of overseas backers with links to tax havens. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.
