AIBU to share this Reform exposé from C4?

Yes. The relevance of the George and Fiona Cottrell investigation is that it serves as the blueprint for Reform's illegal donations.

Funnel money from overseas donors to the UK using a handy UK based resident. A way of circumventing electoral rules accepted by all other parties.

Orr referenced other donors had used the same scheme.

They can't get British donors. Funny that.

They do seem to be repeating themselves.

Speaking of alcohol, isn't it odd how Farage only drinks pints when he is on show to the public?

And he never buys them.

The drinks are all on Nige, he has just had a nice windfall.

What have you got on this?
I am sure Reform would love to investigate.

@Florenceeiderduck youve nade it tricky to check back by not quoting a whole post x I haven’t this time because I needed to C&P from more than one.
@MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack wrote However, there are obvious parallels here with the George Cottrell case, in which Cottrell (an impermissible donor) transferred some very large sums of money to his mother very shortly before she made some very large donations to Reform UK. The police are already investigating these donations
You quoted this and said you weren’t aware of t police investigation " The police are already investigating these donations " Not as far as I am aware, so info please.
Then when you were given the info you requested you said it was out of date and you wanted evidence of a different referral. Did you misunderstand or are you trying to confuse/misdirect people? As I said before, you’ve been shown evidence of a referral t9 the Met for the recent donations.

Oh dear, someone didn’t have their weetabix this morning.

I don’t think the left or even the Tory party has ever slagged the UK off in the USA (or any other country comes to that) just how Farage and his ilk have done. Remember one of his is actually serving a prison sentence for working for Russia.

Farage also runs a company that helps foreigners get visas- only rich foreigners mind. He makes a lot of money from that.

I am proud of the varied history of integration in my country. Simply taking a DNA test may give an insight into just how many foreigners have made you.

Goodness Radio 4 were even speaking Normandy yesterday to mark the influx of those foreigners from across the channel.

By the way Farage even celebrated recently that his ancestors were Huguenot refugees fleeing persecution and sought refuge in England.

Farage has explained that what Dan Jukes said was just "loose pub talk".

Is that like locker room banter?

Other names were mentioned in the filming when the Reform chap (? name) was discussing/reassuring the undercover reporter/bogus son of the American donor, that filtering Dad's money through him would be fine and dandy as that's what they did with "xyz" and "abc". The names were bleeped out and not written in the subtitles - presumably for legal reasons but, also presumably, those in authority who do need to know will be able to listen to the unbleeped footage.

Oh no that's sexist and misogynistic and you know 'protect women and girls'.

Is that his best defence?

Not looking good for Reform at all, is it?!

He must be gutted that his conference has been turned into a total shitshow!

Farage has said Jukes was fibbing, that it was "jack the laddery" pub talk and that those names don't exist.

"Speaking at a press conference, Farage said: “We have not taken an illegal penny in funding, that is important. The loose pub talk, frankly, there was a bit of boasting, a bit of jack-the-lad-dery going on there.

“If it was more serious than that, then I refer you back to the BBC’s question earlier, the names would have been put on to the programme and there would be a hell of a row. They don’t exist. Those donations don’t exist.”"

When you have to wheel out 30p Lee for damage limitation then you really are in trouble

Yes, that's a good point. The investigation will presumably look into this.

Report to the far lefts puppets? AKA what we used call a police "force"
They are too busy making sure nobody is displaying our National Flag or posting hurty wordz on't tinternet 😉

I just really, really hope authorities in the UK don't go the way of those in the US who seemed to cave to Trump's accusations that 'You're the Establishment picking on me' and not only let him get away with trying to overturn an election but allowed him to stand again! And look where that got America...

Being a 'challenger' to established politics (even if what you are offering is frankly more of the same but worse) doesn't mean you are a immune from being corrupt. Farage will play the victim to a conspiracy- theory-leaning audience, but he and his cronies must be called to account like any politician trying to pull a fast one.

Hmm. I can well believe that those names don't exist in the accounts. Hopefully the police will be able to find out whose names they are actually registered under!

That tinfoil hat feeling a bit tight today?

Nice attempt at a distraction though.

What a fantastic caricature of a Reform supporter. Bravo Dolly!

or…and stay with me here

you have no evidence of illegal activity

OK, love. Keep taking the tablets.

" A couple of our contractors said something wrong" is the line we're going with...

His Head of Policy and Senior Aide ... No one can be buying this.

Dorries is claiming that he was just Farage's bag carrier🙄
