I wonder if any of the press will question him at the conference? Not a good way to start the three day conference, that's for damn sure 🙄

I hope so. There's no way they can avoid it without looking utterly craven.

Dan Jukes: It's an amazing sweet spot with relatively good value for money. You make a huge impact and they don't shows up anywhere in public records.

Undercover reporter: Tell me where that sits for you guys.

Dan Jukes: Highly important. Highly important.
[...]
Dan Jukes: Thoee little clandestine projects are so valuable for the sake of four and a half grand. I honestly can't tell you how useful they are.

It's amazing how anything Nigel says is splashed all over the news but his hasn't been on BBC yet. So bloody corrupt.

Sadly, as a dual US/UK citizen whose hopes have been raised just to be dashed far too many times re the orange idiot, I'm not banking on this making any difference.

We can but hope 🙏

Just checked BBC news and they have a headline about Reform promising huge spending cuts but nothing about the C4 investigation yet (unless I am missing something)

Maybe they're 'behind the times'?

I'm thinking this is going to be massive. It's all happened since he's been in office as an MP and the police will have to investigate.

No doubt it will take a while though.

This looks terrible for Cambridge Uni too. It was obvious that Orr was a wrong un, but this confirms it.

I know.

Orr's Stellenbosch-on-the-Cam has only recently come to my attention. I'd had no idea about Orr and Peter Thiel's activities in Cambridge University's Faculty of Divinity. Nor about Orr's little residential settlement by the river.

I only came across it at all because of the discussions of Jason Arday, and people talking about who was getting appointed to professorships and how, and the media / social-media responses to them.

It doesn't matter what the slimey little toad does, his supporters make excuses for him.

Same as trump fans.
There are none so blind as those who don't want to see.

He's been caught bang to rights

I wouldn't get too excited just yet;

In the film, Orr can be heard saying of the arrangement that Farage “doesn’t know, won’t know” and it was the kind of thing he would “rather not know”.

You might need to watch the whole C4 segment. Its very clear Farage knows.

PerkingFaintly · 03/09/2026 21:33

Shock At 10:29 in that YouTube vid

C4 narrator: Orr claims the party is cash-strapped.
James Orr: We just don't have British resident donors. British entities that would support us. That's the grim reality.

Yes it is good that James Orr, JD Vance's British sherpa, has been filmed breaking campaign finance laws. Very embarrassing, at least.

I’m sure it will have farage giving the usual excuses, the establishment are out to get me nonsense, lefties are running scared etc

Whilst all hanging out at Claridges. They are the establishment! I think the problem is that some of his voters are so ill informed they'll hear that he went to a public school and think that means he went to a state school.
