Russia has been gradually stepping up its information warfare efforts against the UK for over a decade. Brexit was one of their first experiments. Burnham is setting up a new unit to fight Russian disinformation. Farage smears it as a "Ministry of Truth". The pieces are all there if you look.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Christopher Harbourne has matched Ben Delo’s £36 million donation to Reform. This is unprecedented. Andy Burnham could have stopped this but instead he choose to let Reform threaten democracy itself. Will be discussing on @lbc.co.uk from 6pm.

Farage, a man who was doing Cameo videos for £70 a pop as late as March 2026, apparently turned up to a meeting to discuss a half-million donation and "wasn't really listening". What utter contempt he has for the very democracy, country, and people that he claims to love.
