Cock Sparrer “We Love You” (1977)
Their second single, a blistering cover of the Rolling Stones classic. Early East London punk rock that still hits hard!
Tommy Robinson thinks he’s above the law. Let’s see if the taxman agrees.
We are calling on the Government to refer the evidence around Stephen Lennon’s finances to HMRC for a full investigation.

I hope there are journalists , producers & news editors at BBC News who are ashamed that they aren’t breaking this story which affects our national security & democracy. I also hope that someone in our national broadcaster will break rank & find the courage to tell us why .
Further questions over Reform’s funding unearthed in this report.
Met statement this evening: A Met Police spokesperson said: “We’re aware of media reporting on Thurs 3 Sept involving political party donations and an alleged breach of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 relating to polling.
"We will assess this matter and any information provided to us”
Tommy Robinson ‘Where’s the money gone’ set to air on Channel 4 ‘Dispatches’ next Wednesday 9 September at 10pm.
Looking into where all the donation money has gone…
Got to be worth a watch.
At what point does a British by-election get awarded to the silver medalist, à la Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis? Asking for a friend of a friend, i.e. me. #Clacton
‘It worked, boom’.
Farage & Reform UK are up to their necks in sleaze & dodgy dealings.
Don’t let these people divide us by using scapegoating & racism.
This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable.
Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.
Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
You can watch the full investigation here: https://t.co/f1g358fN2Y
Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.
“It worked, boom.”
That’s Nigel Farage celebrating a Reform UK plot to break election law - by having a US company secretly pay for three influential political polls that benefitted the party.
Earlier in the investigation, Reform’s Head of Policy James Orr and senior advisor Dan Jukes arranged for a Verbatim reporter to pay for the polls through a US company. Orr and Jukes believed the firm was run by the reporter’s American father.
Mr Farage was filmed by undercover reporters from @Verbatim_Media as part of a year-long investigation that Channel 4 News has thoroughly checked and verified.
This meeting took place in his Clacton constituency in July - when Mr Farage was fighting a by-election he called after separate allegations about his finances.
Watch the full investigation on YouTube.
Woah! Watch every minute of this. AMAZING undercover reporting from inside Reform.
Huge kudos to new investigative kids on the block, @Verbatim_Media via @Channel4News.
