A year and a half later, this former under-secretary for defence in Tony Blair’s government has not been charged.
Meanwhile, he has been hosted by LBC, though.
still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
The last two weeks in Reform UK's world:
⇒ They fixed a competition for their friends to win.
⇒ Richard Tice was found to have avoided a SHED LOAD of tax.
⇒ Robert Jenrick illegally accepted £37,000 from a US Ponzi scheme.
⇒Farage has failed to declare £5,000,000.
This is aside from myriad local election candidates being embroiled in scandals from gay porn, to being previously removed from a Zimbabwean government role over corruption [story tomorrow].
Where are our journalists and their wall-to-wall coverage of these bona fide scandals?
PS. I wrote about Harborne chucking £millions at Farage, as far back as 2019, in September of last year.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage?
Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller].
What a coincidence [increasingly unlikely]
h/t, and thanks to @linfitlass for pointing this out to me.

Hello, there 👋
Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials?
Well. I’d like to tell you a story.
