Foreign money funding Reform UK.
Another 7m from two overseas British crypto billionaires - £4m from Hong Kong-based billionaire, £3m from Thailand.
Tax exiles shaping UK politics. What have they been promised?
Must ban political donations.

In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. https://t.co/SSHiAI3Umc
Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’
I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.
I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues
Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww
Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.
Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.
Two tier media more like.
It's been 23 days since Ben Habib said a foreign based crypto billionaire gave Boris Johnson £1m
Why haven't any of our journalists asked him about getting money from a foreign based billionaire while complaining about foreign interference in our democracy?
When the BBC won’t engage with the story of a major politician’s phone allegedly having been hacked by Russia, and that politician declining to allow the authorities to investigate, it’s enough to make you suspicious that our national broadcaster has been infiltrated & corrupted.
This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.
When Blair and his tech billionaires come with demands to pay workers less, the Labour government caves in 48 hours
Workers rights are not rights at all unless applied to one and all.
Pay all workers the same rate for the same job. Now.
Professor Michael Clarke, "On a daily basis the Russians are attacking Britain"
"Attempts to create division in society"
"Attempts to manipulate social media to create doubt"
"And to effect our democracy, our elections"
It started with the Brexit referendum. And successive British PMs didn't bother to investigate and expose it fully, as they all used Brexit to get into office: Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer - shame on all of them
"Everything that Tony Blair says about AI is not true!"
The former PM has said everyone needs to embrace AI, but @_KarenHao says it's a political project trying to strip agency from everyone, everywhere.
@lewis_goodall
There are plenty of lessons that can be learnt from Tony Blair’s legacy. For example, that privatisation has been disastrous and following the US into illegal wars is wrong.
But his latest “rare political intervention” - calling on the government to abandon net-zero, further privatise the NHS, deregulate Big Tech, and cosy up to Trump - shows that he hasn’t learnt any of them.
Whatever you think of Gordon Brown, his contributions after leaving office have been focused on trying to improve people’s lives. Tony Blair simply does the bidding of Silicon Valley billionaires and petrostates.
@TheNewsAgents@jonsopel It sometimes seems that all we hear from are agents and lobbyists, scrabbling around for money from oligarchs and dictators. No-one peddling ‘little us can only do x’ narratives deserves to be called a statesman. Please interview someone who generates real knowledge!
