Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

(Personally, I'd also like a mandatory course on civics before we vote. Just a 5 minute film people have to watch, so they at least know the basics. Although that's probably a step too far for most of you, and horrifically hard to get anybody to agree to what the civics lesson looks like.)

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy. I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long. So how do we fix it? My plan:

This should utterly destroy Reform, and if we live in a properly functioning democracy it will. But when James Orr describes the Electoral Commission as "completely useless" and "dumb and ineffective", he is unfortunately correct, and that is a big reason why this has gone unchecked for so long.
