Our polling with YouGov shows that 99% of constituencies want to rejoin the EU. And Labour promising to rejoin the EU could stop a Reform UK government. Now is the time to talk about EU membership. www.ft.com/content/a1614884-7c8c-43…

Farage cannot cope with an articulate, attractive woman who disagrees with everything he stands for. His response is to mock her on a public platform but to give her no right to reply. Because that would kill him… expose him for the pathetic inadequate little man that he is.

I've done a deep-dive on the Harborne and Delo mega-donations over the weekend, and whether they may have to be handed back From my reading, a lot of unlikely things have to be true at once for the two £36m 'gifts' to be allowed once the (retrospective) Representation of the People Bill becomes law

Why Reform UK Could Be Forced to Hand Back Their £72m Donations From Crypto Billionaires
Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo gave a record £36 million each over the weekend to Nigel Farage's party, but a new law means they may have to take it all back

Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million. So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.

Reform UK and Christopher Harborne say the mega-donor crypto billionaire is living in the UK (so the overseas donor cap supposedly won't affect him). Since when? A claim form filed by Harborne in the High Court only this June lists his address as (still) in Bangkok...
Screenshot of the top portion of a UK High Court Claim Form (form N1). Handwritten-style red text at the top left of the header reads "Amended Claim Form under CPR r.17.1(1) dated 9 June 2026", beside the Royal coat of arms and the printed title "Claim Form". To the right, the "In the" field is completed: "In the High Court of Justice, Kings Bench Division, Media and Communications List". The Fee Account number is blacked out; the "Help with Fees – Ref no." boxes are blank. A "For court use only" panel below shows empty Claim no. and Issue date fields.
A blue-shaded note in the middle reads: "You may be able to issue your claim online which may save time and money. Go to www.moneyclaims.service.gov.uk/make-claim to find out more."
Under "Claimant(s) name(s) and address(es) including postcode" is "Christopher Harborne", with two lines of the street address redacted with black marker, followed by "Bangkok 10330, Thailand".
Under "Defendant(s) name and address(es) including postcode" is "Benyamin Naeem Habib"
To the right is a circular court seal reading "High Court of Justice – Queen's Bench Division", stamped "09 Jun 2026", overlapping the word "SEAL". Beneath it, partially cropped, is a case number

Note to #r4today No need to studiously avoid mentioning Farage. As FT confirms: “Does this affect Farage directly? Yes. The sting shows Farage meeting the fake father and son after the polls were published” And thanking them both for the proposed donation. Guilty. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
