Remarkable that a party that built it's appeal on the need to "take back control" is happy to accept financial dependence on foreign donors. But perhaps it wasn't really about taking back control after all, but just creating necessary publicity for a money making machine?
“True scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealed. 80% of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Cities are defined by the choices they make about space. Today, London chose people. Oxford Street's transformation is under way.

WHY? What is the point of a response to a budget which nobody has seen? Why provide this level of coverage to someone with no constitutional standing except that he is an MP (who seldom attends) and is embroiled in numerous scandals over standards, possible criminal proceedgings and HMRC issues?
BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Why would anyone bother to hear their proposals for IF they were to form a goverment? It's not going to happen - not even in coalition with Tories, which Badenoch has rejected. . Their proposals are irrelevant.
“Farage & Jenrick were forced to face rows of empty seats as they set out a limp package of rehashed plans ahead of the Budget..The miserable turnout another sign of Reform’s sliding popularity…Ipsos this weekend put Labour on 32%, Tories on 24% & ReFUK on 20%..” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.
