@dave43law@DailyMail Oh no everyone will leave & buy second homes in Europe.....oh, hang on! I see the Fail have stated their invented scaremongering already, what twats!
The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The ยฃ5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.
1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.
2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over ยฃ300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."
Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...
3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.
4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.
It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.
But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.
This is not going to go away.
@PeterStefanovi2 .....but, but, it's so normal for common people to get 'gifts' on this scale, I myself received ยฃ5million only the other day.......oh, hang on that was a dream! Sorry but people who actively seek high public office should expect scrutiny & accountability! Twat!
Who is this woman interviewing Ryan Bridge outside the High Court? She's on video later interviewing him inside the building which is explicitly forbidden by law for obvious reasons.
I'll be making a formal complaint to HM Courts & Tribunals Service once I'm satisfied of her identity.
I'm also interested in who the photographer might be, with images if possible, he was also interviewed/met by AY Audits and Adam Brooks, now wouldn't that be a catch!
Please share to those that might know.
@SueSuezep I very much liked the mocked up cartoon of Fartage & others having to wear sponsors names on their clothes like F1 drivers, with the size of patch proportional to the size of bribe, sorry, sponsorship!
@dave43law If anything, it's a right wing media driven coup, funded by foreign based billionaires! If it wasn't already, it's becoming more and more obvious! Wake up Britain!
Apparently 'NO ONE CARES', about an alleged ยฃ5m bung to Farage, do you?
Care - repost 'I care'
Don't care - like.
What an arrogant little man Nigel Farage is. #Farage#ReformUK
