The War Chest simonpearson1.substack.com/p/the-war-ch... The bigger worry of course is that money is having an undue influence in ALL UK politics, not just for Reform. It's a crying shame Burnham bottled putting a cap on donations: maybe it's time to ban ALL donations and fund parties publicly?

The War Chest
Reform’s funding scandal is about more than whether electoral law was broken. British politics has become dependent on very large donors, and Labour has just backed away from doing much about it.

You have to feel sorry for the Reform-voting constituents of Clacton, really. It's a classic abusive relationship, where they will go along with any amount of humiliation for him and his silly games and he has no interest in them at all, seizing on any excuse to not even turn up and thank them!
