French intel memo flagged Iranian regime links to Reform UK donor, Ghandehari. Dubai firm Orico General Trading, run by UK ‘donor’ whose firm gave £200k to Reform was tied via a French court to Astan Quds Razavi - a sanctioned Iranian foundation close to the IRGC. @OneFinanceGuy

Fiona Cottrell gave @TiceRichard £1m using a dodgy micro exchange in Australia where her son, convicted fraudster George Cottrell, also had an account. Tice then gave £500k to Reform. Did he trouser the other £500k? If yes, why? If no, where did the money go?

NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

If you take one thing from this article: the Electoral Commission tried to warn us.

Arron Banks’s £8m donation came via an offshore account. The NCA ruled that permissible. The Commission’s view? It’s been erased from its website. Because Banks sued it for defamation.

Couldn't give a shit about Messi. The argies behaved like a bunch of cunts & FIFA/referees let them get away with shit no other team did with VAR. wasn't a level playing field infantino should be fired but as FIFA is corrupt as fuck his reign is extended

[Rich @Trixsterwtf]

Considering the ref was essentially the 12th man for Argentina in most of the games it was an immense relief Spain won a world cup tainted by infantino's corruption and Trump. I reckon we'll be hearing the real story of this world cup for years to come.

“We feel sadness, but knowing we left everything out there. Eternal gratitude to these guys who reached another World Cup final."

EXCLUSIVE: Police investigating a donation to Robert Jenrick’s Tory leadership race are to examine claims that the campaign was repeatedly warned over the source of the funds, The i Paper can reveal.

Detectives have been handed allegations that at least five separate warnings were made that a £37,500 donation originated from a US businessman who was later convicted of fraud. Political donations from abroad are illegal under UK electoral law. Jenrick has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

The police investigation will increase pressure on Nigel Farage’s party, which has faced increased scrutiny over its finances.

The allegations relate to a £100,000 donation to Jenrick’s 2024 Tory leadership campaign, received from the British entrepreneur Phillip Ullmann, via a company called Spott Fitness.

It has been alleged that £37,500 of the total amount originated from a US business associate of Ullmann, Gary Klopfenstein, who was subsequently convicted of fraud in an unrelated case in America. Ullmann and Klopfenstein are now in a legal dispute.

Detectives will need to navigate conflicting accounts of who knew what and when about the source of the donation.

The i Paper can reveal that that police are set to examine claims that five separate warnings were made to Jenrick’s campaign that the donation originated from abroad.

The allegations are set out in legal correspondence, and have been strongly and consistently denied by Jenrick.

On one occasion, Ullmann claims he discussed Klopfenstein’s conviction at a meeting with Jenrick and a political aide at the Conservative Party conference in 2024, according to legal correspondence.

Jenrick has vehemently denied the claims, telling The i Paper: “These allegations are entirely false, but it is no surprise that an establishment determined to stop Reform from delivering the change that this country so desperately needs would resort to making these demonstrably untrue claims.”

🤣🥴😜 It made fuck all difference when they won in 1986 and 1998 you fucktard go and do some proper reporting on reform and farage corruption for instance. Jeez this is the problem with journalists and the world cup, it's like pubs at Xmas with people who never frequent them

Argentina v England is important way beyond football. If Argentina wins tomorrow night, it’ll put real fire behind the demand for the Falklands. If England wins, that should put the lid on it — for now.

Grifters even use death to grift. Quite remarkable, fuck the family and their wishes, what about us grifters utilising someone's death to try and hide enquiries into poor Nigel's finances & corruption. Only people that are ill-judged & callous are arseholes like this one below.

Just a reminder that shortly after being appointed president in 2017 that Infantino was instrumental in a major FIFA overhaul that ousted the two independent co-chairmen of the Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert. At the time, the committee was actively investigating… Infantino

USA v Belgium: Balogun Available

This is much worse than Paraguay's behaviour & up there with the random Ronaldo suspended sentence for his 3-Match Ban to ensure his availability.

Red cards, almost breaking someone's ankle and elbowing players is actually meant to have consequences but not if you can just make up the rules as you go along.

The WC has been fun from a lot of nations but the behaviour of FIFA in some of these decisions, including the hydration breaks is just becoming nonsense.

Balogun should be nowhere near a football pitch tomorrow!

1/ I've known quite a bit about Posh George Cottrell for a long time. Until now, most of the UK media has studiously ignored Farage's extremely close associaton with this aristo-criminal, whose background is in hyper-dodgy offshore "money business" for Russian oligarchs.
