Here’s just one detail from @thenerve_news #HarborneReceipts timeline. On the *exact same day* Christopher Harborne gives Reform £3m, Nigel Farage says Reform will lift cap on stablecoin ownership. Where does Christopher Harborne’s money come from, you ask? Stablecoins!

Fantastic to see this @nerve_news investigation trending. The crypto millions fuelling Britain’s far-right turn (the exact same playbook as Trump) requires much, much more scrutiny.

Only forensic journalism of this calibre can restore faith in the press and prevent figures like Farage from ever getting anywhere near parliament, let alone Number 10. Carole has already shown us the terrifying power of hidden data with Cambridge Analytica, and now she is following the crypto trail. I am certain you are all following Carole and The Nerve. They truly deserve our support as champions of real journalism. 🔍🇬🇧

And it’s not any old crypto. Harbourne’s wealth largely derives from Tether, a so-called ‘stablecoin’. And it’s the status of stablecoins in particular that have been the focus of policies championed first by Johnson & then Farage. 6/

The Nerve’s Farage/Harbourne/Johnson timeline is incredibly revealing. I’d urge you to read it & ask yourself as @margarethodge does in our story: what is Christopher Harbourne getting for his cash?? 5/

Correlation is not causation but facts are facts. @thenerve_news has also established that Harbourne has poured an extraordinary £30m into British politics! In just 6 years. This is a story not just about Farage, but Johnson too. 4/

The Nerve’s @CharlieNotOld then went back & examined Harbourne’s donations to Boris Johnson…& guess what?! It’s the exact same pattern as Farage. Harbourne’s crypto donations immediately preceded Johnson’s crypto policy announcements. 3/

Nigel Farage’s crypto enthusiasm took off 2 months after Harbourne’s £5m gift…& escalated from there. And in lockstep with an increasing number of donations from crypto billionaire Harbourne. But that’s not all… 2/ thenerve.news/p/investigatio…

Christopher Harbourne & his crypto millions are fuelling Britain’s far right turn. First via Johnson & now Farage. It’s the great undercovered story of our time. I’m really proud that @thenerve_news is doing this work. If you can afford to support it, we so appreciate it. 🙏 7/ thenerve.news/membership

Cat Brown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚜🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪
🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: its been revealed that Andy Burnham snapped up an ex council flat in Kennington for just £215,000 in 2005 while serving as an MP. He then happily billed taxpayers for the mortgage interest payments because the rules let him get away with it. That same flat is now worth 480000 to 500000 pounds and he rents it out while insisting the income barely covers his costs and he makes no profit. Yet this is the same man demanding rent freezes council housing takeovers and lower rents for ordinary people. Pure hypocrisy from a classic Westminster grifter feathering his own nest on the back of the system he loves to lecture everyone else about.

🚨🇬🇧 Andy Burnham’s Greater Manchester authority funnelled hundreds of millions in public loans to developer Renaker. They built luxury skyscrapers packed with penthouses. Barely any affordable homes delivered. The tycoon takes £40m+ dividends and relocates to Monaco. This is champagne socialism in action. Public cash for private luxury under Burnham. Andy Burnham has serious questions to answer. @KarenQuinn1973 #AndyBurnham #Manchester #HousingScandal #TaxpayerCash

@wesstreeting This initiative is already a policy brought in by @Keir_Starmer called Best Start Family Hubs! If you’d been paying attention, you’d know this!

Every child deserves the best start in life, but the next generation face worse prospects than the last. That’s why I’d restore Sure Start - with an extra £1.7bn funded by the wealth tax that actually works - to help close the gap between the richest and poorest backgrounds.

EXCL: Wes Streeting pledges to bring back Sure Start as he eyes Labour leadership In an in-depth interview, Streeting lifts the lid on Brexit, Reform and what he said to Keir Starmer in their 16-minute showdown mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

I am delighted to report I have been re-selected to fight the by-election in my ward brought about by the resignation - 11 days in - of the Reform candidate. It will be a tough campaign - but High Fell deserves better than an 11-day wonder. Wish me luck…!

@KernowQ @athoms274 Absolutely! The so-called “political journalist” content with the mediocre performance of Burnham! No in-depth analysis of the actual qualities needed to lead a country! Truly pathetic! @LexyTopping

Interesting business audience reaction at @UKREiiF conference in Leeds. Do they want @Keir_Starmer to stay or go … 85pc stay. Much yearning for stability. Great to be on a panel with @TracyBrabin - we do have some good Mayors and need more!!
