For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption:
Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers £5 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 “bring crypto in from the cold” and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (“Britcoin”).
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 £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s 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 years’ imprisonment.
Andy Burnham should push for the UK to rejoin the European Union
He should appoint a Brexit Minister whose sole job is to counter the nonsense and lies around Brexit, providing clear data and facts, especially on the harm it does to our country
He should appoint an Immigration Minister whose focus is to address managed immigration to the UK, and make the case for the contribution and need for migration, how it add value to our nation; not demonising migrants
And he should appoint an Information Minister whose sole objective is to clean up lies and misinformation on social media, on TV, and in print publications
And if a paper has a front page splash with big letters that is clearly a lie, then the paper by law should have their apology on the front page with similar big letters
We need to clean up information, address better migration, and be honest about the impact Brexit has on all of our lives
The country needs growth, and vision, and hope, and the fastest way to do that is being part of the EU, being a team player, and sharing that prosperity around the country
@Heccles94 7 PMs/10 yrs. Deep churn. Starmer’s ‘massive majority’: 22% support. Johnson the ‘great mobiliser’ (& awful ’statesman’): 29%. Cameron: no idea of the country’s ‘humour’ given his party’s shallow roots & his personal background, so a referendum w’out constitutional safeguards.
Suella Braverman was the Home Secretary for the conservatives who had 5 PMs in their last tenure.
She was in government under 4 of them.
Does she think we are stupid?
@ADalrymple@PaulEmbery Yep. Above all IMO the nonsense about Starmer winning a huge majority. With 22% of the demos voting for him. And Johnson, the great mobiliser, allegedly, getting 29%. They’ve fooled themselves too, I think. Not realising how broken our electoral-political system is.
@daveduke197412@PaulEmbery Technically correct but misleading isn’t great. Moreover, on that methodology surely it’s better to identify the significant churn over a longer period, from Cameron to May on: 7 PMs over a decade.

Never forgave Zelensky for standing up to him in Kyiv and refusing to sign away Ukraine’s mineral rights. According to our correspondent who saw Bessent, immediately afterwards, he was trembling after meeting Zelensky
It's even worse. Obama's deal was backed by the implicit threat that, if Iran violated the terms, the US might someday resort to force, a prospect the Iranians feared at the time. Trump has now used that force—and the regime learned it could withstand it. https://t.co/AOQ6OXoJKb
