UK politics funded by billionaires, mega-donations surge as the rich buy power. £179m donated by wealthy individuals since 2019. A cap at £100,000 or £500,000 won't do. Only the rich can enter political auctions Can't end political corruption without ending donations.

Union funding pools contributions from working people. It is governed collectively and every member can opt out. A £36m gift from one billionaire turns private wealth into a political voice louder than millions of voters. One is democratic representation the other is plutocracy x.com/implausibleb...

No arrests. When environmentalists block roads to protest about climate change, they are prosecuted and jailed. When masked fascists do it to promote race hate, they are allowed to go home without a fuss. How about that for two-tier policing?
