No one fights for free speech like Farage He bans all credible journalists from Reform annual Conferences❌ Watched in pleasure as supporters kicked & beat a woman for free speech at the Conference❌ Then claims a law to only detect & disrupt hostile state disinformation will restrict UK free speech

Surely this is not hard to fix? All it needs is a clause in the legislation that permits an organisation such as a union to collect any number of individual donations below a defined cap and pay the aggregate to a political party. PROVIDED such contributions are auditable and fully voluntary.

Hahahaha. Farage now whining that he was badly advised by his overpaid team into calling his stupid by-election. Confirming then that he’s incapable of working it out for himself. Too busy counting his money. Honest to god, Clacton. Don’t be the constituency dunces he needs you to be. (Times)
One senior source said they believed Farage had been poorly advised over calling the by-election in Clacton.
They said that "young advisers" around Farage had not checked whether the standards' commissioner's investigation would continue in the event of the by-election and they had incorrectly assumed it would not. They also criticised "massive salaries" paid to staff who they said were "letting Nigel down".

Brexit
Labour seeking 'deeper relationship' with EU under Burnham, new minister says
Exclusive: Hamish Falconer wants 'sense of renewed pace' in post-Brexit talks while staying within Labour's red lines Falconer said he wanted to apply Burnham's
"Makerfield test" to the EU negotiations, ensuring they would deliver tangible change to ordinary people struggling with the cost of living, including in his own very heavily leave-voting constituency.
But he said he would continuously emphasise principles of "European solidarity", which he said went beyond trade and were backed by shared values, including on defence and security and on how countries could tackle growing dangers such as wildfires caused by the climate crisis.

If he wants the investigation stopped, presumably he now wants to lose the by-election. What a disaster. He resigned, then said he would fight the by-election; none of the other parties turned up to play his game, and if he wins, he still gets investigated. What a cunning stunt.
