One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

No Richard. What I do want, however, is for you to stop repeatedly trying to use Anne Widdecombe's appalling death to stop legitimate scrutiny of Nigel Farage's £5m donation.

So much of the right these days just have a massive patriotism problem. This guy:
- is a tax exile (left long before this govt)
- hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it
- laments the hit to manufacturing driven by a Brexit he supported

You seemed to like retrospective legislation before, @ZiaYusufUK
Once the principle of legal certainty is sacrificed to naked partisan expedience, there is no stopping point.
Politics ceases to be a contest of persuasion under reasonable and predictable rules.
Instead it becomes a game of raw power where the winner simply changes the laws to destroy the loser’s capacity to compete.
Retroactively confiscating Reform's donations would be a step into a dark new paradigm for Britain.

Remember Nathan Gill? When he was arrested at Manchester Airport he was on his way to a Conference in Moscow about elections (strange subject in Moscow). Gill’s presentation was about the electoral role of crypto currencies - funny that…. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/17/w…

They claimed it was only illegal migrants who they had a problem with.
They claimed it was only foreigners who couldn't speak English that they had a problem with
They claimed it was only foreigners who didn't integrate that they had a problem with.
Posts like this from a failed Reform candidate show that, actually, it's schoolchildren who have earned a place at high achieving schools that they have a problem with, if they happen to have black or brown skin.
It doesn't matter to them if they came here legally, it doesn't matter to them if they have embraced life in this country, it doesn't matter if they were born here, to parents born here. They're not white so to warped individuals like Matthew, they're a problem.
They aren't, people like him, and those that enable them are.

Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to help those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.
