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.

I have written to the Cabinet Secretary to seek assurances that the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, who was lobbying for the privatised water industry until recently, has had no involvement in talks about the future of Thames Water.
25th August 2026
Dear Antonia,
It is reported in the media today that the Prime Minister has ‘shelved’ plans to take Thames Water into administration.
As is well known, the Chief of Staff in Downing Street James Purnell was until his appointment, the Chief Executive of Flint Global, whose clients it is widely reported include members of the privatised water industry, and Thames Water’s bondholders. 
The Times reports that the Prime Minister has been ‘advised by officials’ not to go ahead with special administration. In addition to James Purnell, can you confirm that no other officials involved in this process have links to the privatised water industry, and have accepted no hospitality from anyone associated with or acting on behalf of members of the water industry, including Flint Global, post the departure of James Purnell. 
It is especially concerning that the Times reports that the Prime Minister has listened to advice that even the half measure of temporary special administration would be costly and run into legal issues. Of course, this is what advisers and lobbyists for the privatised water industry will be saying and it is the ‘advice’ James Purnell would have been making weeks ago, It is also highly unlikely to be true, given the repeated catastrophic failures of Thames Water, including polluted rivers, sky high bills and water shortages, Thames Water could be taken into public ownership right now and Thames Water would not have a legal leg to stand on.
The public and I expect a proper explanation for this decision, including an update to parliament at the first possible time, and assurances that James Purnell has had nothing at all to
