I think Starmer introduced a cap on foreign donations in Mar. It didn’t go through then but was made retrospective to the day it was announced to avoid a sudden rush of donations. I thought it also included a ban on cryptocurrency donations. Here’s the link www.gov.uk/government/n...

Reform UK's record-breaking donor was accused of running “in effect a money laundering platform”. Prosecutors accused Delo of being the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who knew that his Bitmex platform had become a “magnet for money laundering and criminal activity”.

Farage has never appeared particularly enthusiastic about the day-to-day responsibilities of being an MP. Since entering Parliament he has maintained no constituency office, recorded one of the Commons' poorest voting records, and has barely mentioned Clacton in the Commons.
leftfootforward.org
Farage mentioned Clacton twice in a year in the Commons, a world apart from Jeremy Corbyn, who made constituents central to PMQs
For a politician who has built his career claiming to speak for people ignored by the political establishment, it’s a pathetically shoddy record.

I think the Count Binface vote has a low mean but very high skew. There's a small but not negligible probability that the fight captures the imagination, like the Boaty McBoatface thing, and its virality produces a high vote share, maybe even enough to win. Not very likely but not impossible.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.
A photo of Tony Head with a fan, standing in a barn near a horse. Tumblr post from dracofidus: If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to "Sarah" and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and look loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Utger and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a massive hug. Waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I was back safe.
