Police are investigating Tice’s company for donations made to reform UK

In other news, it seems Putins 3 day special military Operation is less closer to prevailing than before it started. I wonder if there is a new strategy that doesn't involve Farage and his Kremlin cloak of cash has been kyboshed. Spending a lot of money and effort over the next 3 years to maybe get a Reform PM doesn't seem such a great use of Russian resources.

It's hard not to imagine a film where the Gods on Olympus have taken the protective glass jar off one of the players who is a little Farage piece on the game board of mortals.

"Now," said Zeus, his face inscrutable as ever as he put the shell of scrutiny on the side of the board and looked at Hera,

"Now," he continued, "let us see him perform his miracles without help".

I don't agree with the Metropolitan Police telling the press before anyone in Reform (if that was the case). Though Richard Tice may have been in Dubai so uncontactable.

Other than that, if the law has been broken, I hope it leads to prosecution.

Apologies @NoWordForFluffy you are absolutely correct. No excuse.

I live in the south east and visited Stockport the other week, predictive text and my perimenopausal brain made the mistake.

My point on how Farage used the Southport tragedy for political gain and incite violence still stands

Any thoughts on the substantive points made? Or are you going to focus on the typo?

There are plenty. And you appear not to understand what lobbying is. Yes, sometimes money or some benefit in kind changes hands and that is wrong. However it is often MPs drawing attention to issues on behalf of their constituents.

He politicises tragedies for his own gain and incites violence - Stockport

At least have the respect / decency to get the town name right. Especially so close to the anniversary. It's Southport.

I have no clue how people get this wrong.

Thanks, @DuncinToffee .

This thread is an excellent representation of the current voting public - many people just vote on 'feelings'. Many people don't have critical thinking skills, they are not bothered about even taking a cursory glance at policy or any evidence based fact

That's what Nigel excels at - selling bull shit & snake oil.
Every single robust study pre Brexit said we would poorer as a nation, logistics would be harder, slower and more expensive and that our standing in the world would take a huge step back. That is exactly what has happened.

But Nigel and his tribe are happy because they have made more money in the interim and they tell the plebs public that everything is great because we have our 'sovrinty' back.

All the reform supporters please have a think about what Nigel has actually done to make this country better - nothing.
He's richer, You're poorer.
He's a shit MP
He wants to defund the NHS
He politicises tragedies for his own gain and incites violence - Stockport
He actively wants division - it's us against the establishment trope
He's a complete dickhead

Oddly Reform withdrew it when the investigation in to the £5 million payment was launched.

Yes! That was a strange way to behave if there was no link between Reform's crapto policy and the £5 million donation to Reform by a crapto tycoon.

It’s hidden because it refers to crapto currency.
MN flags any posts with the correctly spelled word.

What have you actually contributed to this thread? All the two of you have done is cheer each other on while providing no evidence for your assertions, nor making any case to defend Farage or Tice. What is the point? If you actually tried to defend them I would understand. All you have contributed is whataboutery? And your whataboutery isn't even relevant to the topic at hand.

For some reason your picture has been flagged as sensitive content. Can @mumsnet explain why? I had to click on it to view it and there is nothing sensitive about it.

Directly after the last GE and after the payment of £5 million from crapto investor Harbourne to Farage, Reform published a crapto currency policy to lower CGT - I imagine that suited Harbourne and Delo (Reform donor/crapto investor) very well.

Oddly Reform withdrew it when the investigation in to the £5 million payment was launched.

i wonder if they published a policy on social care? (No they did not)

Very very few! Westminister is a cesspool of corruption - just look at the whole lobbying industry. They even named the industry of bribing for personal interests after the heart of the houses of parliament.

There are also some really excellent, dedicated MPs.

I didn't know you were a Reform supporter?

Still didn't change Reform's position, which is what this thread is about.

They're all corrupt. Just look at how Burnham came to power and the payments he's making now in terms of jobs for the boys/girls. The Tories were full of dodgy dealing too,

I think there is just something about being an MP that attracts the worst of humanity.

@Marmalademorning we won't be missing much. We can catch up on the next echo Reform thread. Have a great Sunday.

Was that this morning, @DuncinToffee ?

Now the dam has burst I'm struggling to keep up.

Hilarious that you still won't provide any examples.

What you also overlook is the fact that Farage is trying to obstruct investigations, as is Tice who is also blustering about legal action against the media who dare to report his company's activities. You have managed to cite two minor samples of Labour misdeeds because they have been thoroughly investigated and the politicians responsible fully co-operated with that process.

Peter Mandelson, Sue Gray. There's quite a list for a party who doesn't do corrupt. I could type some more names but it will take up a fair bit of my morning.
