This is unbelievable. Chris Mason reporting on the Farage £5m donation and doesn't mention the rule that new MPs must report all donations in the 12 months prior to being elected. Unbelievable.

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker. Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year. Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead. Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency. Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle. Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free. Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to. Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds. Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires. Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle. Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all. Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons. Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting. Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again. Pint, mate?

No wonder Farage was gutted his mate Orbán lost power in Hungary. Orbán’s think tank MCC pumped £512,000 into a foundation at the heart of British neo-nationalism. That’s over 90% of its total funding. That foundation’s trustee? James Orr. Reform UK’s Head of Policy. The man writing their plan for government. Matthew Goodwin, Reform candidate, ChatGPT plagiariser, GB News regular was an MCC fellow. Fellows get paid up to €10,000 a month. Reform won’t say what he received. These aren’t coincidences. NatCon conferences. The Free Speech Union. Think tanks. Media. All roads lead back to Budapest. Orbán lost on Sunday. His British network is still standing, still shilling against their own country.

Here's the problem with @BBCNews and the UK media in a nutshell.... On Tuesday, @declassifiedUK published a major undercover investigation, showing how British citizens are being offered help to move to illegal settlements in the West Bank. It also revealed that the Israeli charity behind it had claimed it could benefit from UK Gift Aid. Not a single mainstream news outlet has covered our findings, despite it going viral on social media. Then, this morning, the BBC published their own undercover investigation - showing how a small number of migrants facing deportation from the UK make false claims in order to try and stay here. Within hours of publishing, the BBC's story has been picked up by the Daily Mail, Telegraph, GB News and others. It's not that their story is "wrong" or shouldn't be reported at all. It's the choice of what to spend time and resources on. And the fact that the mainstream media systematically ignores independent media. Support @declassifiedUK and other independent media!!

Today I broke a story [with help from @linfitlass] about Reform UK potentially fixing their competition to provide energy bills to a whole street. It's a big deal and should, by rights, be picked up by mainstream media. Luckily, there's one proper, reliable news outlet that have and are publishing my full article on Monday. Obvs its Byline Times. But … why have the BBC, Sky News etc. missed this? I'm not blowing my own trumpet at all, but so far, the story has had over 1.5 million views on my 𝕏 feed today. A genuine public interest story about a potential fraudulent attempt by a political party, but it's being ignored, as always ... because it's Farage. This is serious. Aside from Byline Times, The Nerve and the New World, the rest have capitulated to the far-right and Bannon's play. If any outlets want to discuss this story, you know where I am. x.com/donmcgowan/sta…

Shocking response from the chair of the @NorthernPremLge to a supporter with legitimate concerns. Debbie Hewitt MBE is this behaviour acceptable from an @FA Council member?

That's right, the CHAIRMAN of the @NorthernPremLge (pictured) telling an FC United fan who politely emailed him to "go fuck yourself" Mark Harris must resign immediately. This and the rest of the week's events prove that the NPL have a serious issue with bias against FC United
