GB News only makes £6m a year, it pays Nigel Farage £1m a year, and makes a £36m loss. It isn't even supposed to be allowed to hire MP's. Why is this blatant bribery of a Politician allowed?

Farage has always behaved as though the rules apply to everyone but him. These allegations against Reform look like the latest example. Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson @lisasmartmp.bsky.social has written to the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate.

Talking about public control is just tinkering and on Thames Water he’s even tinkering with the tinkering by backtracking. If he wants hope: tax the wealthy, take water back under public ownership, bring in rent controls & no to new North Sea drilling. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I suspect the major difference with this form of American interference in British democracy, and whatever they’ve been up to since World War II, is that this time the public have been told about it.
Direct foreign interference in British politics
- we have rules against foreign governments funding parliamentary groups, but this is fine?? Seriously??

I don’t give a shit if “Reform denies rules were broken” because the rules are that u have to declare any gifts over £300 for 12 months prior to becoming an MP. So unless they’re saying the Times fabricated the entire story (they’re not), then the rules were very much broken. Denial is irrelevant.

Saw this on X. Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
