    Huh, so we’re all worried about foreign interference from Russia and friends, but the US just does it over the table? Really???

    The Electoral Commission, the political finance watchdog, last week repeated its demand to link donations to the UK profits of the companies used to make them. Farage immediately pounced on the comments, describing the Electoral Commission as “establishment stooges” and suggested that the main parties were fearful of Reform’s rise.

    That seems like a sensible idea. I’m assuming it hurts both Labour & Conservatives too though, hence why they’re not pursuing it.

      I can’t imagine looking at what billionaire money is doing to America right now and thinking, “yeah, we’ll have some of that”. It’s blatantly a bad idea.

        Have you seen how much money the American political grifters make? Of course the UK grifters want some of that too
