Palantir have just bought themselves a Labour Lord with close links to the Labour government.

No other word to describe this other than corruption.

How can Watson remain a member of the House of Lords and keep the Labour whip?

The West is moving on without Trump & Brexit Britain.

We should be at the heart of all these developments. It’s our natural home to bridge CANZUK and the EU…

But Canada and Australia are teaming up with the EU without us.

THAT’S why we should rejoin and lead.

Reform-linked thinktank ‘to call for big tax cuts for the rich’; accompanied by deregulation of the City, weakening the courts.

That is the return on donations by the super-rich.

Cost borne by the old, sick, disabled, unfortunate; cuts to public services

How very convenient

Reform to hand crypto investors hundreds of millions in tax breaks
Exclusive: Analysis seen by The Independent reveals the wealthiest crypto investors would get £100m a year in tax relief from Nigel Farage’s party

Be clear. Reform now has the resource to buy every billboard in the UK, blanket wall to wall advertising across written and broadcast media and saturation leafleting. The British will be blitzed into voting for the ultra right - against every best instinct. It is a dark moment.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Convicted in the US.

Pardoned by Trump.

Record donation to Reform.

Crypto-billionaires. Criminals. People who think they can buy and sell British politics.

That’s who Reform stand for.

That’s who they’ve always stood for.

Dear @andyburnham,

A £36m donation to Reform

You could have prevented this

You could protect our democracy from being bought like this

So, why did you drop plans to cap donations?

We need you to reverse course on this now

…before it’s too late.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

The way British democracy is being bought by crypto billionaires is simply obscene - and a direct result of Labour’s unforgivable inaction https://t.co/8MO1tQ5rSf

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

What's this crypto billionaire buying for such an obscene amount of money?

Labour have had years in government to get a grip on this. They've allowed the integrity of democracy to be put on sale.

When 5 Just Stop Oil protesters seeking to save our planet organised protests to block the M25 they’re sentenced to 5 & 4 years in prison for conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. So what happens when the new Blackshirts block roads & intimidate people? https://t.co/g5EV10XA0c

Farage and Reform UK are in deep trouble. However, after 3 days, @Verbatim_Media's 37 minute video of their extraordinary year-long undercover investigation into Reform UK's illegal foreign donations has only got 161k views. It should have several million.

So please repost this and then share the video.

Ten newspaper covers. Not one front page leading story or headline about the Reform scandal. It broke long before they went to print. Nobody touched it.

If it was the leader of any other political party they’d have been all over it.

But yeah, “the press is out to get Farage”.

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

To reassure potential buyers, companies that sell research antibodies often provide validation images in their catalogs that supposedly confirm their products work as advertised.

But nearly 19,000 of the images from 15 companies have been doctored or fabricated, according to a new analysis. https://t.co/eHxuPcS504

"This is not the ‘new normal’ or as bad as it gets."

Countdown to Catastrophe: 'Climate scientists issue urgent warning to UK government on new oil and gas drilling'.

"The science is crystal clear: we must keep oil and gas in the ground. Every extra molecule of carbon dioxide emitted drives us deeper into the danger zone."

Watching Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy, I was shocked to see the damage the chicken industry is doing to rivers, communities and animals. And now I’ve learned the Government wants to expand Big Chicken. I've signed the petition to stop it 👉 https://t.co/8gScUNDWuv
