Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Sophy Ridge, "The biggest ever donation to a single political party, to Reform UK"

"£9,000,000"

Anyone care to guess what the donor expects in return?

Gullis has joined the Farage party. Now I know why they’re called Reform. It’s a party reformed with all the former Tory rejects, has-beens, and old bits of offal; the party’s the culinary equivalent of a doner kebab. Looks appealing 6 🥴pints later, but the next morning, a deeply regrettable idea🤢.

We’re an island nation with over 22,000 miles of coastline, making it one of the longest in Europe. The vast majority of people in UK are only 70 miles away from a beach. It’s about time seaside towns get special attention.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.

All because UK govts oppose public ownership
