Reform UK has received a £36m donation from a British cryptocurrency billionaire called Ben Delo Last year Delo was given an unconditional pardon by President Trump over a breach of anti-money laundering laws at his crypto trading platform, BitMEX, to which he had pleaded guilty in 2022

Europe has a far right problem and the US government plus various tech bros are encouraging it. The centre right insofar as it remains is stuck in paralysis as to what to do, and much of the media likewise, including supposedly "progressive" titles (yes you, staggers).

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

Mail on Sunday unquestioningly reporting Nigel Farage’s claim that his phone was hacked by Russian agents. Just as they did his lies about French police telling him he’d been the victim of an assassination attempt. It’s even written by the same journalist.

While Streeting does his thing, Farage gets deeper in the weeds. If £5m was a 'gift', he could do as he pleased with it. But recall he said the money was to pay for security? Either he had £1.4m from his other work *that he used for a house rather than security*, or the 'security' line was nonsense
