“Questions remain for Green Party Leader Zack Polanski” says Chris Mason but he has no questions whatsoever for Reform leader Farage, thrashed by Greens with only 1,612 votes vs 8,928 🤷‍♂️ Are voters turned off by #FaragesFishyFiveMillion by all the sleaze & corruption Nah that’s not important to BBC

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Leader of party - that sold its own shrivelled soul to the devils of austerity and Brexit - will use her conference speech to slag off Labour (yawn) and make the only promise the Tories ever make - cutting taxes… They have nothing new or credible… or just plain nice… to say any more.

Farage honks his mouth off about ongoing police investigations, when told not to. His Welsh leader is in prison for taking bribes from Russia. He whips up riots. He’s in bed with Trump, foreign money, crooks and crypto billionaires…. A massive problem with national security is Farage himself.

Reform is owned by a few money laundering crypto billionaires. Farage is their greedy little broker. Happy to sell our country out to make even more money for the global tax-avoiding super-rich. Screw everyone else. Screw our rights. Screw our kids’ futures. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/reform-uk-...
Reform UK Is Now a
Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary of the Corrupt Crypto Industry
As criminal investigations into Reform's funding continue, much of the British press continues to give a free pass to Nigel Farage's shady funders
ADAM BIENKOV
TODAY AT 12:36

Photo: Bitcoin Magazine's Frank Corva holds hands with Nigel Farage as he holds up a copy of his proposed Cryptocurrencies and Digital Finance Bill in Las Vegas.Starmer and Burnham's governments have left the door wide open to Delo, Harborne and other crypto billionaires to sweep in and effectively buy up one of our major political parties.
This in turn has an impact on the reporting, which broadly continues to treat these donations as being a massive boon for Farage, rather than being the incredibly alarming evidence of potentially criminal behaviour that it actually is.
This all really matters.
Because whilst the recent reporting of Farage's funding woes appears to have caused the party to dip slightly in the polls, we are still a long way from the general election, at which point the tens of millions of pounds supplied by Reform's shady crypto donors could prove to be an absolute gamechanger.
