I’m not surprised, you were a voice of reason calmly calling out their BS. Careful though, if you make Reform look too silly you might not be invited back by the producers at the BBC

More journalists have been killed in Gaza than both World Wars, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan combined. Obscene.

Rising global temperatures are melting ice and exposing previously inaccessible oil fields in Greenland as well as opening up new trading routes across the north. I wonder if this is what Donald and Vlad have been discussing? 🤔

"Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. Do you own a suit?" he continued. "A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the dignity of this office." *Dignity*? F**k me, has he met Donald Trump? 😆 🤡

Feeling so angry right now. JD Vance is an evil, vindictive piece of s**t, the US President is working for the Kremlin, and Musk is a drugged-up Nazi. For God’s sake Starmer, ditch this lot and back Europe. The so-called “special relationship” died in the Oval Office yesterday 😡🤬🤯

Is it not possible though that by allowing Russia to weaken Europe, China (a bigger economic competitor than Europe) will become stronger? Especially if they take advantage of Mr Art of The Deal’s negotiations by planting a foothold in Eastern Europe…

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims. What he's doing is a travesty.

Blimey, this is big. Reform UK is already effectively receiving foreign donations. Via Private Eye
According to Reform UK's election manifesto, the UK is "ruled by an out-of-touch political class who have turned their backs on our country". So it's heartening that one of the party's latest big donations comes from a patriotic British businesswoman who lives in, er, Monaco.

On 5 December, the Electoral Commission released donation figures covering the third quarter of 2024. Hepburn Bio Care UK Ltd, a small company based in Southampton, gave Reform £20,000 – its third largest donation that quarter. Hepburn Bio Care is owned by founder Margaret Hepburn, a Brit who has lived in the tax haven since at least 2005.

The firm makes "environmentally friendly" cleaning products for cruise liners, including major operators like Carnival, and describes itself as a "multimillion dollar company". However, the UK branch which donated to Reform is listed as a "Small Company" that only publishes "filleted abridged" accounts and shows a small annual profit of £12,000 in the latest (2023) accounts – less than the sum it gave Reform.

Hepburn Bio Care does have branches in Monaco, Dubai and Florida, so it is possible the multimillions of dollars are in their accounts. It also supplies products to the "superyacht industry", suggesting Reform is not just a party for the have-nots, but the have-yachts too.

The article appears to be highlighting what it sees as irony in a political party that claims to represent people against an "out-of-touch political class" receiving significant donations from a Monaco-based businesswoman whose company provides services to luxury industries like cruise ships and superyachts.
