The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.

💥Zali Steggall hits back at One Nation’s “dangerous” anti immigrant rhetoric & reminds that 30% of our care workforce are migrants
“R u also going to tell ppl that it means shutting down aged care centres? Cutting back on services?”
Why won’t media ask Hanson these questions?🙄

@ExpatGolds4j @DgeEvans Do remember WTF that Australian soccer went to a summer competition in 1989 to avoid the AFL and NRL and join basketball as lame once winter sports that couldn't compete for money or coverage. Soccer intended to go back in 2022 but still found it financially impossible.

@MattSmith_567 Become a plumber then. 🤔

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]

@PictureSporting Youre welcome to come to Adelaide again this summer. You experienced a cooler summer. The hot ones are something else. It wont be humid. Just hot. Day/night tests might have to become the norm.

@lesstenny A decade ago, the 'oh trumpy hahaha' to any and all insane shit spoken by the orange turd was the final straw.

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]

@AkashBasday @wilber1990f Of course they had no idea what it meant. All was heard was migrants migrants. Same happened in the US....twice. Now Australia is in trouble of going down that same path due to absolute ignorance. As is proven it's other dumb shit these anti-migration fools bring that fuck us up

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]

@aboutasteph To this day haven't seen it, apart from short grabs. Feel like I didn't miss much.

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]

@nastik_bhai Peaked...no. Resumed it's rightful place as the most dangerous bowling with embarrassment the weapon. Yes.

@icelandcricket Did they call the toss correctly ? Did they move the batting when needed ? Did they bring on the spinners when needed ? If no, maybe they should try politics.

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]

@MattSmith_567 How do we tell the difference. They were dodgy then too.

[sinbad bay @sinbadbay]
