Labour donor companies awarded government contracts within 2 years of donating:

PwC
Donated: £236,945
Contracts: £67.56m

Baringa Partners
Donated: £30,062
Contracts: £35.20m

Microsoft
Donated: £30,000
Contracts: £17.94m

Grant Thornton
Donated: £81,658
Contracts: £6.54m

Faculty Science
Donated: £36,000
Contracts: £4.06m

Public Digital
Donated: £103,688
Contracts: £3.25m

Arup
Donated: £33,264
Contracts: £2.22m

Public Service Consultants
Donated: £28,693
Contracts: £1.20m

Total donated: £580,307
Total contracts: £137.97m

That is roughly £238 of contracts for every £1 donated.

This does not prove contracts were bought, but it shows exactly why political donations and public procurement need far greater transparency.

I wonder if the contracts were put to full and proper tender or “gifted”!!

Donations listed are not huge amounts but still counts even if it £10.

These are just 8 of many.

I’ve been offline for 2 months and only logged back on because I saw the news about Ann Widdecombe.

But I wish I hadn’t.

We’re told that victims deserve dignity and injustice transcends political divides… except if you’re a conservative.

Jeremy Corbyn’s legacy is marred by decades of anti-Semitism and allegiances to Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Yet, he still gets treated with enormous deference and protection by large sections of the Left.

If Corbyn were beaten to death in his home, the outrage and grief would come pouring in.

The Left would (rightly) demand justice.

And anyone using his political ideology or past misdeeds as an excuse to celebrate his death would (rightly) be blasted as inhumane and evil.

Ann Widdecombe is no more divisive or controversial than Jeremy Corbyn. Her political impact is no less important than him. Her decades of public service, regardless of whether you agree with the side of the fence she sat on, count for no less than his.

And yet, where the Left would be outraged if it were Corbyn who was beaten to death in his home, they are openly celebrating Ann’s murder simply because they disagreed with her politics.

And this is a recent phenomenon. I mean, look at the senseless murders of Jo Cox and Sir David Amess.

Both MPS. Both murdered in cold blood. Both of polar opposite political parties. But, less than a decade ago, the response was horror and proper mourning that crossed political lines.

As it should have been.

Now? The level of glee is utterly grotesque.

When the victim is someone whose politics they dislike, suddenly the rules change. Tribal hatred has hollowed out basic decency, and humanity is no longer a basic foundation for all of humankind.

An elderly woman was beaten to death in her own home. Her life was taken in horrific circumstances and she deserves justice.

Cheering the violent death of a political opponent isn’t principled or brave.

It’s just callous.
Simple as.

So, I pray for her family, for justice, and for the return of some basic human decency. Tonight was a reminder of just how far we have fallen.

And with that, I’m logging back off.

Ann Widdecombe:

"No one has the right to live their lives being protected from offence or hurt feelings - it is an occupational hazard of living in a society. If you can't take it, become a hermit."

Rest in peace.

[UK DISPATCH @UK_Dispatch_]

NEW🚨: Rachel Reeves Labour MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer failed to declare transfers and cash donations of £30,000 from Alison Wedgwood (Oct 2025), £15,000+ from others like David Sainsbury, and larger sums from figures such as Sir Victor Blank (£175,000 reported in some coverage).

Also “in kind support” from lord Ali £7,500 from donors like Lord Alli), event costs, and more. One source notes ~25 donations declared by Sept 2024, with ~£163k cash and ~£183k in-kind.

All this was final declared mid this year.

She was never investigated by UK’s Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

🚨 BREAKING: WESTMINSTER DEMOCRACY HAS OFFICIALLY COLLAPSED.

You do not have to be a fan of Nigel Farage to see how incredibly corrupt our political system has become under Labour.

Farage has just resigned his seat in Parliament to trigger an immediate "people versus the establishment" by-election in Clacton.

The press conference he just gave exposed a terrifying level of state and media corruption.

He revealed how the establishment media literally targeted his family by publishing his daughter's home address, exposing her to targeted harassment.

He faces daily death threats that the police completely ignore, all while the state quietly slashed his security funding by 70%. 💷

Even worse, he exposed how the Labour uniparty keeps changing the election and donation rules just to crush their political rivals.

This is not a democracy. This is a system where the ruling party uses the state, the media, and two-tier policing to intimidate and silence anyone who opposes them.

If they can use these authoritarian tactics against a prominent MP, they can do it to any everyday citizen who dares to speak out.

RT to expose this corrupt Labour regime and demand our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

Ah yes, the timeless classic: “Refugees Welcome… Just Somewhere Else.” They’re at it again 😂😂

For years, Rachel Millward has championed the familiar message: “Refugees are welcome,” safe routes, compassion, the right to work, and criticism of the UK’s “hostile environment.”

Then the Home Office proposed housing around 600 asylum seekers at Crowborough Army Camp—right on her doorstep.

Suddenly it’s all “absolutely appalled,” concerns about safety, poor planning, lack of consultation, and even talk of legal action.

Funny how “welcome” can come with an asterisk the moment the postcode changes.

It’s amazing how limitless compassion develops very clear boundaries when it arrives in your own constituency. Apparently, “Refugees Welcome” is more of a slogan than a location.

Most people don’t object to helping those genuinely in need. They object to a system that feels poorly managed and to politicians whose principles seem a lot more flexible when the consequences become local.

Nothing exposes political messaging quite like having to live with the policies you enthusiastically recommend for everyone else
