@BashfordAndy@Nigel_Farage@JakeBerry They backtracked on digital ID after all of that you idiot and reform didn’t even sign it
Give me one logical reason why none of reform signed the counter letter to mandatory digital ID
Go ahead
@sniper_news_uk@patriciavalkei1 A Thai millionaire wouldn’t be a permissible donor under the rules of PPERA, so it’s just as well that Harborne has dual UK/Thai citizenship and is registered as a UK overseas voter 🇬🇧
Nigel Farage Probed on £5 million gift from Thailand millionaire
A spokesman for Reform UK said: "Mr Farage's office is in communications with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
"He has always been clear that this was a personal, unconditional gift and no rules were broken. We look forward to this being put to bed once and for all."

You lying piece of shit
When they tried to impose digital ID you did nothing
Same as the rape gang enquiry
Rupert Lowe led parliamentary opposition via the cross-party letter to stop mandatory digital ID passing
The letter gathered signatures from more than 30 MPs across parties. Lowe also signed and supported related Early Day Motions condemning the plans.
You and the rest of Reform did not even sign or co-sign Lowe’s letter.
So basically you are full of shit
🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage is now being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner for not declaring the £5m gift he received from billionaire Christopher Harborne
So @ChrisMasonBBC AGAIN fails to mention the rule that you MUST declare gifts and financial considerations from the 12 months BEFORE you became an MP.
Mason keeps failing to mention this crucial point whilst saying he wasn’t an MP at the time.
Grossly misleading @LBC
@BashfordAndy@Anniepop2027@Lettie44@ChrisMasonBBC@LBC The word ‘gift’ is doing some serious work here 🤣. Who really has friends that just gift them £5m with no strings attached. It stinks. You crack on defending the leader of your cult though just like all the other sad pricks.
@BashfordAndy@justdavenow89 I wonder generally how this is defined and/or policed. If someone pays me £5m for my own fun activities and then I change my party's policy, does that count?
We should always ask ourselves, what is the motivation of the giver? The same is true for free tickets to the football
Farage is being investigated for a potential breach of rule 5 of MPs' code of conduct:
"Members must fulfil conscientiously the requirements of the House in respect of the registration of interests in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. New Members must register all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits (other than earnings) received in the 12 months before their election within one month of their election. Members must register any change in those registrable interests within 28 days"
@SophyRidgeSky Yesterday Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson were accused of taking £1m each to rig elections.
It seems to support the Epstein notes of Farage was working with Bannon to overthrow the democratically elected PM.
That’s on top of the £5m gift.
Do. Your. Job.
#FFS
Yesterday morning on Downing Street it felt like things were about to tip over the edge. When we were told by No10 that the agenda for Cabinet was going to focus on international affairs and not leadership - we didn't believe it. But that is exactly what Keir Starmer did.
In perhaps the most Keir Starmer move ever, he was saved by process. He told Cabinet that if anyone wanted to raise his leadership they could see him afterwards, one on one. And then refused to meet them.
Now this morning Team Starmer are saying the moment of peril has passed. They say Streeting doesn't have the numbers and Burnham doesn't have a seat.
But are those two things true?
This morning - Wes Streeting - is going to finally get his meeting with the Prime Minister. What happens will be critical. Will he ask the PM to set out a timetable for his exit? Will he resign? Will he launch a leadership bid?
But in truth today might NOT be the day that Streeting acts. That's because it's the King's Speech later in the morning - a big set piece event where the government lays out its legislative priorities. Streeting - and others - may not want to derail the etiquette of that event - given the involvement of the King.
Which all means that Keir Starmer might have a bit of time in hand... He's saying he's going nowhere - that the rebels don't have the numbers.
Lyndon B Johnson says the first rule of politics is learning to count - and we'll find out soon who's done their sums right.
