It's not just Nigel Farage taking millions from the super-rich. His Reform Party is doing it too.
Reform pocketed £7 million from two crypto billionaires in the first three months of 2026
We need to kick ALL big-money out of politics.
Our democracy should not be for sale!
Keir Starmer will “not walk away” from Downing Street after Andy Burnham confirmed tonight he would challenge him if he makes it back to Westminster.
“The country expects us to focus on governing and to deliver change for hardworking people, not get distracted by Westminster debates,” No 10 says.
“The Labour party has a process for challenging a leader and it has not been triggered. The Prime Minister will not walk away from the mandate he was given just two years ago to build a stronger, fairer Britain”
I’m a pensioner and I’m also disabled and Starmer has not punished me. Get your facts straight James and also he is not the most unpopular prime minister, Thatcher was.
Since Labour were elected people like you have attacked Starmer 24/7. From day one the far right press cabal have been attacking him 24/7 over the most absurd things, Specsavers gave him some glasses and we didn’t stop hearing about it for months, Nigel Farage accepts £5 million quid bung into his bank account and it’s hardly mentioned. The day before yesterday Farage came out of hiding to incite a 'cold rage' riot and he succeeded and 11 police officers were injured in Southampton, despite the family pleading for no more division and hatred.
Deservedly Farage is being shown for what he is a nasty despicable tiny man who will use anyone and anything to get what he wants. If he ever gets elected our NHS is gone.
Meanwhile since he was elected Starmer has had to deal with #FaragesRiots (number 1) and insane man in the White House slapping tariffs on us, the threat of WW3 coming closer because of Farage’s mate Trump, and him destabilising world peace, then he has had to deal with Trump's illegal war in Iran as well as all the dreadful domestic issues left by 14 years of Tories. The economy is losing £90 billion per year because of Farage’s #Brexit and all the rest of it. Starmer has handled this with calm dignity, if Farage was PM we would be involved in an illegal war costing our service men and women in injuries and maybe their lives and we would be spending millions on Trump's war. I for one am glad we have a PM who is keeping this country on an even keel. Who do you actually want as PM — Farage? If you do you’re going the right way about it!
It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.
Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.
Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.
Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.
The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.
A No10 spokesman hits back: “The country expects us to focus on governing and to deliver change for hardworking people, not get distracted by Westminster debates.
“The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and it has not been triggered. The Prime Minister will not walk away from the mandate he was given just two years ago to build a stronger, fairer Britain.”
100% agree with the PM’s comments yesterday about not exploiting this tragedy to fuel division, and with his remarks to Elon Musk today.
In MK, Bucks, and Britain we are proud to have different communities living side by side - united by more than what divides us.
The Labour Party would be quite literally mad to get rid of Starmer. Election 2029 will be fought on whether the economy is working for the country, and not on Deform UK's agenda. Why jettison the adult in the room? #stickwithstarmer
Sick & tired of people being unable comprehend that you can totally decry Farage for inciting violence and rage AND ALSO believe that the murder of Henry Nowak was utterly horrendous and that the police got it very wrong.
These things are NOT mutually exclusive!
The House rightly fell silent to listen to the Prime Minister’s response to that dreadful question from Farage.
A blistering reprimand from the PM to a man who simply shouldn’t be in public office. #pmqs
The UK-EU summit provisionally set for July 13 is in doubt.
This should come as no surprise to those noticing we're coming closer to the date with no announcement.
There are considerable frustrations on both sides as to current talks and future plans.
