Farage receives second £36m donation in two days.

Reform’s biggest donor Christopher Harborne matched record donation given on Friday by fellow cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo

Oh thanks, who knew?

The thread is interesting, some of the posts are not. C’est la vie!

@MelissaLovedMantari

That's why Reform secretly bought some and those polls were trumpeted in the rw media

Who pays for the other polls?

Based on your posts, it sounds like you are working for YouGov. Also, sounds like you are not a Reform supporter. Nothing wrong with that as everyone is entitled to choose who they vote for.

However, if those running polls are against Reform, how can the public who read the polls be sure they are not biased? How are polls audited?

You seem to not have known, given your pp.

Ok dear.

‘Dear’ prob best for people you know.

2029, surely? Unless it’s already too late… 😳

It’s an ideal way to convey sympathy so seems fine.

Not really, feel free to use it irl if you like calling people ‘dear’.

You are free to ignore the polls if you feel they are biased. But the fact remains that all the polls have Labour in the lead right now, apart from YouGov which has a tie between Reform and Labour.

I am not a supporter of any party. The legislation was always set with the 25th March date, this was intentional to prevent rushed extra donations. The intention of the legislation was widely known.

I'm in favour of donations reform.

I think there should be a ceiling on donations from single individuals.
I'm fine with any auditable collective donating, whether direct to party or via a third party including unions.
I am not sure what I think about donations from campaigning organisations/trusts. There are a small number of these in existence.

I don't always agree with @EasternStandard but you must know you are using it in a patronising and vaguely misogynist context. It's a cheap passive-aggressive shot.

Should it have read ' oh dear?
Which is different.
OK dear isn't used unless it's a close relationship and doesn't really convey sympathy it's more of an endearment. Otherwise it is seen as patronising.

And you must realise I’m responding in kind to their attempt to patronise me. Funny isn’t it how you didn’t mind that?

Why is it patronising? You don’t like the op’s posts yet choose their threads.

Re the posts below on ok dear, glad some agree it’s patronising. If pp do it to others irl then go for that instead.

I was about to post similarly, but you beat me to it.

The PP’s true colours, methinks.

You are sailing very close to a thread derail.

I don’t remember any rule that said one can’t disagree with the thread starter?

Yes, it is patronising, just as you were and your faux naïveté about that doesn’t wash.

Can you please stop?

If you don’t like the thread or some of its content, please hide or scroll. You don’t have to comment on every post.

Then bring your thread back on topic, and respond to the substance of posts rather than being so thin skinned.

I will respond to posts directed to me yes.

If you genuinely want to avoid a derail then you are doing a poor job.

Is this disagreeing? It looks like you’re having a go but also you seem not to want to see a regular stream of updates from the op… in which case there’s an easy way to avoid that.

It’s a response to a specific post from the pp. Of course you’re entitled to dislike it or disagree with it, but we could all pull out posts we dislike and complain about them, or we could ignore, or respond to them. Quite why that particular one - a response to the pp’s multiple drops of news headlines that caught their eye - made you feel the need to chip in I don’t know.

You come across as very aggressive.

Per yours, I shall choose to ignore your posts from now on - kindly reciprocate.

I shall otherwise continue to post headlines and data critical to this government, as I wish.

That’s how it works, people can see what you post. I don’t get why the op gets any of this stuff about not liking their threads and then some seek them out. I mean you can but if it’s that bad there’s a way to avoid reading them.

But again, where did I say ‘didn’t like their threads’? I don’t know about you but I tend not to notice who started a thread. I certainly don’t seek anyone out.

As you say, you could have ignored my
post. But you didn’t, while advising others to
do so. Patronising.
