Farage can *never* be PM. His greed and needy vanity make him an enormous national security risk. He has no clue how to behave with dignity or probity. The day he gets booted out of public life for good cannot come soon enough. If Clacton has its wits about it, it could be in less than a month.

Reform are absolutely drowning in corruption…. It’s a shame it’s taken 10 years, the radicalisation of many and the absolute destruction of sensible politics for us to get here. Here’s hoping Jenrick ends up in a court, there will be no cartoons on the wall for him to paint over in his local HMP.

The Reform/crypto billionaire pincer movement on our democracy continues apace with £5mill Farage grubbing for more cash, Harborne registering to vote here and Delo holding parties to see who will make him more money. The Times calls this “transforming” British politics, rather than buying it.
Reform donor who gifted £5m to Farage registers to vote in UK

Extracts:

A British-Thai cryptocurrency billionaire who is Reform UK’s biggest donor has registered to vote in Britain in a move that the party hopes will pave the way for him to give more money.

Christopher Harborne, 63, gave Nigel Farage, the party’s leader, a gift of £5 million shortly before he became an MP in 2024.

Farage is facing an investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner over whether the gift broke the rules, which states new MPs must declare any registrable benefits received in the year before they were elected.



Harborne faces being barred from giving significant donations to the party after the government announced that it was limiting donations from overseas Britons to £100,000 a year.

He has previously said that the government has no right to stop him from making donations and insisted that “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. He said that his first thought on hearing about the cap on donations was: “Fine, in that case I’ll give even more money.”

Harborne had his name restored to the electoral roll this month, registering his address at a farmhouse in Hampshire.



The money from Harborne and other cryptocurrency billionaires has the potential to transform UK politics.

Harborne was seen last week at a party held by Ben Delo, another cryptocurrency billionaire who had given £4 million to Reform. Delo recently moved back to Britain from Hong Kong in part so he could continue to donate.

Delo’s party at the National Gallery was attended by right-wing political leaders, including Farage and Rupert Lowe, the leader of Restore Britain.

Lowe used to be a Reform MP before his bitter row with Farage. A Reform source said: “We are delighted to have Christopher’s support and even happier he’s come home. Reform is already attracting more tax-paying billionaires back to the UK than Labour could dream of.”

“Even by his own standards, Farage seemed unusually irritable and fractious this week at the impertinent assumption that standing for high office goes hand in hand with transparency. Maybe he’s beginning to acknowledge that this democracy lark is not his thing” app.independent.co.uk/2026/06/27/3...

Farage's £5m makes the MPs expenses scandal look like chicken feed
American politics can, notoriously, be bought.
It's time for the leader of Reform to provide the truth about his own finances to show Britain is not going down the same route, writes Alan Rusbridger
Alan Rusbridger
2 hours ago - Saturday 27 June 2026 06:00Only last week it was disclosed that Farage has been trying to block a Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for Mr Harborne, who has so far donated £25m to Reform UK
- about two-thirds of its overall funding.
The Guardian reported that he used a private meeting at the Bank to urge the governor to drop plans for a state-run alternative to the digital currency that has made his Thailand-based
benefactor one of the richest people in the world. It was also reported that Farage's opposition to the proposal for a
"Britcoin" is so strong that, after the meeting last September, he told an audience of crypto enthusiasts he would be "prepared to go to prison" to stop it.

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.
Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way
