Hope the appointment of Letitia James is sending a shiver down the spines of the Cornell rapists.

'First past the post' partly responsible for the disdain many UK electors feel about politics in general. Labour proposing some form of proportional representation means that individual votes would count for more than they do under FPTP. In turn, that would affect the behaviour of politicians.

Reform are outraged that electoral law might be changed retrospectively, potentially costing them £72m in donations. Meanwhile, Reform want immigration law changed retrospectively so people with Settled Status can be removed. Retrospective laws: outrageous when they affect Reform, apparently.

Well, of course Farage and Tice are insisting loudly that Harborne and Delo - crypto billionaires - don't want and won't receive anything in return for the £72 million gift to Reform. In other news, Farage says that if elected he would reduce capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%

I assume that Farage will be standing down as an MP again, so the voters of Clacton can decide whether he's guilty.

The Met is investigating whether Reform contravened The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act: Which says "... a person commits an offence under this Act if they knowingly enter into any arrangement designed to facilitate donations to a political party from an impermissible donor."

Farage says "Reform has done nothing illegal." The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 says that a person commits an offence under this Act if they knowingly enter into any arrangement designed to facilitate donations to a political party from an impermissible donor.

Senior Reform figures are saying that the Channel Four sting was 'entrapment'. Entrapment - in law - is when the police induce someone to commit a crime. That's not what happened. Even though there was no money on offer, the fact remains that Farage was clearly quite happy to evade the law.

The truly depressing thing about Cleverly's anti-ULEZ policy is that the Tories will have focus-grouped it and found support for it - presumably among suburban Londoners.

Has anyone ever seen Count Binface and Nigel Farage in the same room at the same time?

mikeywohl.bsky.social @mikeywohl.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Farage has won. Even if the standards committee finds that he was in breach of corruption rules, they will have to take into account what will likely happen if Farage is recalled: no reason to think that the Clacton voters will vote differently. So - the commons would end up looking stupid.

mikeywohl.bsky.social @mikeywohl.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Farage will (probably) win in Clacton today. But the size of Binface's vote is what's important: it will reveal the depth of opposition to Farage and, by extension, to Reform. And if you add up the votes of the joke candidates (including Laurence Fox) that will be a story in itself.

Thames Water, described as 'struggling under a mountain of debt' - has paid its new chief executive a 'signing on bonus' of £1 million because, it 'has to pay' an obscene amount of money as 'an incentive'. If the new CEO doesn't sort out Thames' finances, he should return the bribe. Only fair.

This UEFA statement could well apply to the UK industries privatised in the 1980s - a process that has spectacularly backfired and created so many current problems : water, rail, social housing: "...commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure."
