🚨 THE HARBORNE'S £1M BUNG 🚨
While Westminster’s gossip addicts hyperventilate over whether Sir Keir sneezed too loudly at PMQs, Ben Habib casually drops a political napalm claim: that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson were each allegedly handed £1 MILLION by crypto tycoon Christopher Harborne to “fix” an election.
Read that again slowly.
A Thailand-based billionaire pumping colossal sums into British politics… Farage swimming in offshore cash… Boris lurking in the background… and half the media still behaving like the real national emergency is Starmer existing in Downing Street.
The £5m bung now looks like the tip of a very murky iceberg.
If Fleet Street had any interest in following the money instead of chasing Westminster soap opera clicks, reporters would be camped outside Farage’s girlfriend’s house asking who knew what and when — not loitering outside No10 waiting for Labour MPs to invent another “leadership crisis”.
Britain’s political press corps: obsessed with Starmer, allergic to asking serious questions about Reform’s billionaire backers. Absolute state of it. 🎪

Ben Habib is practically begging to be sued. Why? Because if Farage or Johnson take legal action, disclosure rules could force documents, payments and communications into the open. That’s the gamble ..not “prove me wrong,” but “let’s see the evidence.”
Check mate..bravo @benhabib6
‘If you act inappropriately, you’re kicked out of Reform.’
‘Some would say Nigel himself acts inappropriately…’
Journalist Gavin Esler and @DamianCollins take Reform’s Andrew Rosindell to task over Farage’s decision not to declare a £5m donation.
Keep at this @MrJohnNicolson - “blindingly obvious” as you say, and with every passing day of pinhead-dancing, they allow the normalisation of the abnormal.
I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?
Reform is treated by much of the broadcast media as though it is the official Opposition and next government. Could @ChrisMasonBBC@BethRigby@itvpeston etc therefore please apply to this scam the same levels of scrutiny and news value as the lesser sums involved in the tax affairs of @AngelaRayner …. Thank you for your attention to this matter and well done @Gabriel_Pogrund
No @ChrisMasonBBC . It’s neither bruising nor belittling for Starmer. Trump showed us exactly what he is - a petulant man-child who stamps his foot if he can’t get his own way. If you must proffer opinion then take sides with your own PM not the man engaging in an illegal war.
“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.
Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...
But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

I don't think you will see this clipped up by LBC because it shows Ferrari handed his arse by someone who knows what they are talking about. In this case by Sir Richard Dalton a former senior member of the British Diplomatic Service. The question and response at 3'20" is a personal favourite - Ferrari's head nearly explodes when he's told 'What a daft question?'. Enjoy.
Well spotted by someone on Bluesky on the date.
In his emails to Epstein in mid November 2018 Bannon claims to have met up with Rees Mogg, Farage and Boris Johnson to keep Brexit on track and defeat Theresa May. Farage denies this…. And yet….

Well!!! Once a Murdoch hack and a Robbie Gibb pal always a Murdoch hack and a Robbie Gibb pal I guess …. This whole BBC nonsense has been a right wing stitch up from start to finish. EXCLUSIVE: Michael Prescott himself doctored Trump quotes https://t.co/BwcwMzHE7k
Farage gets roasted in Washington 🔥
Jamie Raskin calls him a ‘far-right pro-Putin politician’ and a ‘Trump sycophant & wannabe.’
Funny how the truth lands harder and faster from the US than it ever does from Starmer’s Labour here.
#FarageRiots
More of this from 🇬🇧 politicians please. Why does it take an 🇺🇸 politician to do this? Though doubtless most of our media will focus with “Nigel Farage spoke out against the blah blah in DC today … and now we ask another talking head about the rise and rise of Reform …
