@NewFifeRight14@donmcgowan He's afforded a LOT of credibility on things he shouldn't. Revealing he wants to be an MP, and Reform UK ltd don't want to run him as one is VERY telling.
They either don't like how he looks, what he says, or think it'll upset their voters.
@Lancsiron So, gov should fund aircon in schools. I agree.
We agree something needs to be done.
Why do you think we shouldn't take measures now? If you think the systems are inadequate, that we don't have contingencies.... Why make them suffer now?
For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption:
Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers ยฃ5 million to Nigel Farage.
3 June 2024: Days after the transfer, Farage announces he will stand for Parliament.
4 July 2024: Farage is elected MP for Clacton.
29 May 2025: Farage announces that Reform UK will become the first British political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
29 May 2025: Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Farage unveils plans for a Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, including reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, creating a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and preventing banks from debanking crypto users.
September 2025: Farage publicly namechecks Tether and Bitfinex, companies in which Christopher Harborne is a major shareholder, and says he is going to the Bank of England to argue against restrictions on crypto and against the proposed digital pound.
13 October 2025: At the Digital Asset Summit in London, Farage says he wants to โbring crypto in from the coldโ and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (โBritcoinโ).
25 October 2025: At the Zebu Live crypto conference in London, Farage positions himself as a political champion of the crypto industry and repeats calls for lower crypto taxation and wider adoption.
3 November 2025: In a speech in the City of London, Farage again calls for crypto deregulation and for the UK to become a global crypto hub.
If it could be proven that the ยฃ5 million secret payment influenced Farageโs actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues, bribery or corruption offences. Under the Bribery Act 2010, the most serious bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 yearsโ imprisonment.
@LukeThomsonLAB@MarinaPurkiss That's the thing, if it was declared, it would be a non-issue. It's him being super sus about it, constantly saying he could use it to buy cars etc that brings the whole thing into doubt.
His doubling down is silly.
