Yes, I pay myself rent in order to avoid tax, but it is coincidentally £1 less than the level at which I would have to declare it under Parliament's transparency rules.

Ah yes, the party that so favours the average working man apparently, targeting exactly the Oxbridge set that they claim to despise. Is anything Reform says not instantly provably hypocrisy?

This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.

Farage is done. He simply cannot become PM. He’s a ragingly greedy, corrupt, national security risk. We aren’t America. Anyone shouting “witchhunt” on this just looks like an idiot. Off you go, you most loathsome man.

Sunday Times front page

Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal

George Cottrell provided staff, security and housing ● The benefits were not declared to Commons ● Crypto gambler Cottrell is seeking pardon from Trump

Extract

Nigel Farage failed to disclose that a convicted criminal and cryptogambler funded his operation in the year before his election to parliament.

The Reform leader appears to have broken parliamentary rules by accepting security, drivers, staff and accommodation paid for by George Cottrell, who was jailed for participating in a US money laundering conspiracy.

Farage did not declare benefits that included the recruitment of a right-wing activist who managed his social media, produced political content, and helped him gain hundreds of thousands of followers.

The Reform leader has continued to benefit from the support of Cottrell, 32, since his election to the Commons in 2024. He has repeatedly stayed at a five-storey townhouse near Buckingham Palace which is rented by the fraudster and thought to cost tens of thousands of pounds a month.

Cottrell, who we can reveal is also a key figure in an offshore bookmaker implicated in potentially criminal betting, has no official role in Reform, but is described by insiders as Farage’s right-hand man and closest aide.

Farage said he did not need to disclose the pre-election support because it predated his decision to run for parliament. He said he did not need to disclose the use of the townhouse as it is provided by a close friend.

However, at the time Farage started receiving the support he was Reform’s honorary president and was active as a national political figure.

The “overall purpose” of MPs’ code of conduct is to uphold democracy by ensuring maximum transparency over any financial support or benefit that “might reasonably be thought by others” to influence their actions or words as a parliamentarian.

Here's Mosley in the 1930s. I'm afraid I can't give you the date but it's an interview from one of his fascist newspapers. Classic "legitimate concern" territory.

I am not an anti-Semite. Anti-Semitism is hatred
of all Jews on account of their race. I attack
some Jews on account of what they do, but I
never attack any Jew on account of his birth. I
never attack any man on account of his race or
religion. If a Jew does something against the
interests of Britain or of Europe, he should be
attacked like anyone else. He should not be
attacked because he is a Jew, but equally he
should not be immune from criticism because he
is a Jew. This is a consistent principle from
which I have never departed, before or since the
war. I cannot, therefore, be called an anti-Semite
who is a man who attacks all Jews on account
of race or religion. Our clear-cut principles differ
from anti-Semitism for reasons which anyone
can understand.

I feel like the death of Margaret Thatcher gave British people the same lesson Americans are learning right now - sometimes someone dies & people will be pretty actively chuffed about it. You are responsible for your own legacy, and, while people don't condone violence, they certainly won't mourn
