For ‘some reason’ the USA has lifted sanctions & will be buying Russian oil. The USA is therefore, by proxy, funding Russian weapons that are used against Ukraine & also sold to Iran, which are then used against USA soldiers & allies. boycottUSAoil

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.”
