Well well well

More corruption from “not the establishment”

To be honest I think a second police investigation into the same corrupt family donating to reform is the own goal here.

Given these lot have spent years saying they’re not a part of the establishment, they’re different, they don’t do things like that, they’re starting to look very corrupt and just like the establishment they denounce. This isn’t even the first time Tice has done something like this. Remember his tax affairs? The net is closing in on reform.

And then there is the fact that the Cottrell "donors" couldn't be more establishment if they tried!

Are you serious? It only takes a quick google or search on AI to bring up loads of examples.

Fine. Post some links then. It only takes a moment to copy and paste loads of examples. Let’s be having them.

Defending endless allegations of real corruption is the own goal. Will they still be defending them once they're locked up?

Yes. They’ll say it’s a police conspiracy against them no doubt

So provide them. Don’t get ChatGPT to do it, if you’re going to make a claim you should back it up.

Don't you just love the stereotyping of people who complain about stereotyping. Labour and their hypocrites. Keep those own goals coming.

The government of the day are being scrutinised, including a convicted fraudster and a tax shy housing minister being given cabinet roles. There's also a small thing like a new PM in town. Are you being disingenuous?

The convicted fraudster and tax shy housing minister are old stories. Farage's £5m bung was being investigated before Burnham took over. One Reform chap is already in jail for corruption. I suspect more may follow.

I agree, but it’s so frustrating to me how many of us can see what is happening here and others will vote for it which will completely screw the country that we all have to live in, and not just us!

It’s freaking me out a bit to be honest how they keep doing this sinister shit unchecked and getting away with it. It’s like watching a car crashing in slow motion but being unable to stop it and nobody with any power seems willing to either.

They’re not getting away with it any more. The mainstream media have turned against them. There are more revelations in this morning’s Times and it’s not giving up. There’s a limit to how many more times Jenrick will be able to go out to try and defend the indefensible.

The usual excuses. Always small amounts compared to large amounts, when the fundamental principle is dishonesty. Always trivial when it applies to Labour but substantial, otherwise.

Angela Raynor referred herself to get clarification re her very complex tax affairs as she was getting conflicting advice. She put her house in trust for her son as he is severely disabled and needs a forever home. He was born very prematurely and is blind. His parents share his care so Angela spends half of each week caring for him.

Yes, I agree. It's clear that bad actors, mainly Russia, are interfering in our democracy and nothing is done other than security agencies popping up intermittently mentioning it. Where's the widespread denouncement of the propaganda? Where are the arrests of the traitors? Why is no one in power spelling out exactly what's going on to the public? The cold war never ended for Russia. We really need to get back on a war footing and start calling out interference and foreign agents wherever they appear.

Also, my initial post you replied to should have said Europe and the Americas.

I think in the future when the web is unravelled and exposed we will be shocked to find out who was behind a lot of incidents. We know Russia is meddling in the West, and I won't be even slightly shocked to find out if they're in bed with Reform and the far right in the US and the Americas orchestrating tragedies.

@LuckyHazelFox but you do realise that all Reform cares about is making themselves and their rich mates richer.

They don't care about you or Clacton or communities or institutions that literally save people's lives. They claim to care about immigration but have no robust policies to make it work other than 'stop the boats'
If they did bring in the strictest policies on immigration that would exacerbate fiscal growth on top of the 4% loss in GDP directly attributed to Brexit.

Reform are a shit show - all style and no substance

Marmalademorning · 26/07/2026 08:17

That’s because they don’t have anything of any substance to back up their argument.

So they resort to insults and petty name calling.

So where’s your evidence of corruption in the Labour Party?

Please provide us with examples of Labour's corruption. It doesn't even touch the sides compared to Reform.

You normally reduce your argument to the intelligence of a voter base. It's ironically very ignorant.

And you usually reduce your arguments to whataboutery comparing apples and dinosaurs. Furthermore, it has been borne out that people on the left and centre are generally better educated than those on the right. The fact that only 20% of Reform voters are educated to university level is very telling.

The reports of an Islamist terror attack at the Berlin pride event last night will no doubt serve to galvanise his cult again regardless because he will weaponise it and make people fearful. People won’t care about his dodgy dealings if they think he’s going to save them from that.

There is loads of information out there in the public domain explaining how Russia is weaponising migration and extremist radicalisation to destabilise the continent and interfere in democracies.

Russian asset Farage and other far right leaders will be rubbing their hands with glee. Funnily enough, there are federal elections in Germany in September. What convenient timing.

The issue here isn’t dishonesty, it’s corruption and Farage and his merry men are marinated in it.

It's always whataboutery with Reform voters. Reform are immoral and so are many of their voters who continue to support them. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of their supporters are the type to take cash in hand jobs, fiddle their books and not pay their taxes. And thus, they don't care about Reform's corruption.

Thinking and Reform voters aren't two things that tend to go hand in hand.

No surprises here. I am actually surprised that it took that long for corruption to come to the surface.
