Polanski very stupid for what he shared, but Reform’s pivot from bringing a woman who called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned down as their guest of honour at conference, to saying the Green leader should be jailed - is a difficult circle to square

Farage rejected offer of tax-payer security because he “wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary who has the highest level of protection among govt ministers” Yet, on and on he whines. Demanding the highest public office with none of the scrutiny. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security
The Reform leader's spokesman told The i Paper it was a downgrade on the state-funded security he had previously received
13 July 2026, 3.10pm 

Nigel Farage, who is routinely accompanied by bodyguards, has claimed to be "the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times"The i Paper has learned he was offered a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, car and trained driver supplied by private contractors.
The offer followed a July 2025 review by Parliament's former security director Alison Giles, and specified that it could be upgraded for more high risk events.
The royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec), responsible for the security of the royals, the prime minister and the home secretary, was brought in to help assess the threat faced by MPs in February 2024.
One parliamentary source claimed Farage was unhappy with the offer as he wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary, who has one of the highest levels of protection among government ministers. This was denied as "false" by a Reform spokesman who said the leader did not make specific requests.

New figures show net migration has fallen considerably. Some will celebrate. Some will continue to use it for scaremongering regardless of the facts. But can I also make the point that a country becoming unattractive for migrants is a signal of that country going down in the development charts.

Crypto donations to political parties to be banned. Good. Farage claims this is aimed directly at Reform. Good. He also says that him publicly promoting Harborne’s crypto company had nothing to do with Harborne giving Reform £9M. You’d have to be a v special kind of useful idiot to believe that.
PM set to ban crypto donations in blow to Farage

Max Kendix - Political Correspondent

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to ban cryptocurrency donations in a blow to Nigel Farage as an independent review warns that they risk letting foreign powers intervene in British democracy.

Reform UK was the first party to accept donations in cryptocurrency, which Farage has strongly advocated.

He has also personally invested £215,000 in a bitcoin scheme run by Kwasi Kwarteng, the former Tory chancellor, and claimed the party had received “a couple” of donations in crypto.

Tomorrow Philip Rycroft, a former senior civil servant, will publish his report on foreign interference in British politics. The Times has been told he will call for a ban on crypto donations as concerns rise about a lack of transparency and the risk of money laundering.

Farage has previously said a ban would be “aimed directly” at Reform.

Ministers have promised that Rycroft’s recommendations will be “incorporated” into the Representation of the People Bill, which is making its way through parliament.

The Rycroft review was launched after the conviction of Nathan Gill, the former Reform MEP in Wales, for accepting bribes to promote pro- Russian narratives.

It will also recommend forcing individuals behind opaque company donations to declare themselves to regulators.

Rycroft said the report would “set out clear, practical steps to modernise political finance rules ... and better protect UK democracy”.

Last year Farage received what was believed to be the largest political donation by a living person when Christopher Harborne, a British crypto tycoon based in Thailand, donated £9 million to Reform. Soon after the donation was received, on August 1, Farage publicly promoted Tether, the crypto company in which Harborne bought a 12 per cent stake in 2016. Farage denied that Harborne had asked for anything in return.

Britain's position will be MUCH worse if we're the only country that answers Trump's call to dip our hands in the blood he's spilling in the Middle East. That will win his favour for about an hour, until the next shiny thing distracts him. But it will stain our nation forever.

I think if you want to mark the moment for Labour’s series of problems in Government, it stems from the moment when Sue Gray was sacked in preference for Morgan McSweeney. Winning an internal or general vote is not the same as governing.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid. A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered. Why hasn't it happened?
