@donmcgowan @Kevin_Maguire Irrespective of everything you listed, reform are still a better option than the leftwards we have at the moment

Yesterday, Reform UK dropped a billionaire bombshell via their pet [paid] media channels. Ben Delo — one of the UK's youngest self-made billionaires, declared that he would re-migrate to the UK in order to donate to Nigel Farage's pension fund. I had questions — I went looking. A mathematician and tech entrepreneur, he made his fortune in cryptocurrency as co-founder of BitMEX alongside two others in 2014. By 2018, he was reportedly the UK's first Bitcoin billionaire. So far, so standard for this type of guy. But when you start reading about those he has donated money to, and the circles in which he moves, things become a bit murkier. There are few firm details about Delo's philanthropy, but among other things, he helped fund Toby Young's Free Speech Union. He maintains a suite of offices called The Sanctuary, close to Westminster Abbey, in which he allows 'guests' to use his facilities for free. Podcasts, office space, networking events. The notorious Triggernometry podcast, hosted by Konstantin Kisin, records from the Sanctuary. From which he told the world that Rishi Sunak could not be British because he is a brown Hindu. Other notable purveyors of Ben Delo's generous office complex are: Rupert Lowe, Ben Habib, Kemi Badenoch [multiple times], Claire Fox [and her Academy of Ideas] and his close friend, Jordan Peterson. A genuine smörgåsbord of right-wing, free speech warriors. Another feature of Delo's philanthropy is his summer party in Westminster Abbey. Attended last year by such notables as Matt Goodwin, Maurice Glassman and Paul Coleman — director of ADF International, the Christian law firm that opposes abortion. When Nigel Farage gave testimony to the US Congress last year, he was flanked by Lorcán Price from ADF. The ADF helped topple Roe V Wade in the US and have cosied up to Farage in recent years. Watch this space for Reform UK's forthcoming anti-abortion stance, I'd suggest. Of course, it's widely reported that Delo pleaded guilty to financial crimes by failing to implement anti-money laundering controls within his company and received a 30-month probation sentence alongside a $10 million fine. In 2025, the crypto president pardoned him. According to the Guardian, Delo has been biding his time, burnishing his reputation since receiving the seal of Trump approval [and by extension, of course, Farage's]. He is now launching himself into the UK political sphere as the latest white knight to attach his steed to Nigel Farage's rickety bandwagon. The timing yesterday was not coincidental, nor was its method of delivery. It's no secret that Reform UK have been fighting to keep the spotlight in recent weeks. Dropping poll numbers testify to that. Farage and Delo coordinated their announcement yesterday to coincide with a lull in the war [supposedly] in order that they maximise the headlines. And it worked. But, as you can see from the examples above, Delo runs in the same right/far-right circles as all the others. Propping up some of the most hardline anti-immigration and Christian Nationalist figures. This isn't a story about money — these people run together. It's an assault on our British freedoms. We need to be VERY wary of them.

A Muslim mother justifies marrying off her daughter before puberty: “She’ll reach puberty at her husband’s.” The daughter cries: “I don’t want to get married. My family is forcing me. I’m scared.” Engaged at 9 to a 25-year-old man. Sick culture!

This image of the regime washing blood off the streets after they massacred protestors in January in Iran is intensely symbolic The "international community" is whitewashing the regime all over again

Christians around the world are being slaughtered for their faith. Nigeria. Pakistan. Syria. Sudan. Iran. The Congo. Myanmar. Bangladesh. Libya. Burkina Faso. Somalia. Yemen. Afghanistan. Europe. England. America. And all at the hands of Islamic extremism. This is genocide.

The is arse-covering nonsense. The idea we couldn’t send warships to the Mediterranean because they were busy shadowing Russian subs closer by, is ridiculous on so many levels. But let’s just settle for this — Type 45s don’t hunt subs.

🇮🇹イタリア・ファーストのメローニ首相 イタリアのバス運転手が、ブルカを着用したイスラム教徒の女性に毅然と接する。 運転手：「顔を覆うなら載せない」 女　性：「私の信仰です」 運転手：「イタリアのルールに従えないなら帰れ」 メローニ政権はブルカ規制を強化‼️

@campbellclaret Sour

Shouldn’t take long. “I am supporting Reform cos the crypto crowd want zero regulation and Farage is Trump’s U.K. crypto ambassador.” There. You could have done it in a tweet. Did you cover Trump pardoning your crimes? Are you hoping PM Nige smashes rule of law too?

@koshercockney @JohnCleese Lovely mugshot, she looks like a weasel

UK Foreign Secretary calls for Lebanon to be “urgently included” in ceasefire. So she wants Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist group hellbent on killing Jews, to be protected. Okay, got it. And her government still refuses to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist group.

@MarioNawfal So full of crap

@Heccles94 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zack Polanski will be the next prime minister of Britain

People like this are calling you “far-right”. I’m happy to be on the opposite side of whatever this is.

“Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” -Ayatollah Khomeini (founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran). I’ll never wrap my head around the fact that this is what Western leftists decided to side with.

All of these evil bastards of the Islamic Republic deserve to die.

MAN LOSES EVERYTHING FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. HSBC LOSES NOTHING FOR FRAUD. Nicholas Wilson spotted something wrong in 2003. Simple enough: @HSBC's subsidiary HFC Bank was quietly adding a 16.4% "debt collection charge" to the accounts of people already struggling to pay off store cards at John Lewis, Currys, B&Q, Dixons and PC World. Illegal. Straightforward. He said so. His boss started calling him "Mr Ethical." Not a compliment. He reported it. Got sacked. Reported it again. Got ignored. Regulators sat on it for years. @TheFCA own Complaints Commissioner eventually said it was the worst case of regulatory failure he'd ever dealt with. The FCA responded by appointing someone from John Lewis and someone from HSBC to its board. You genuinely cannot make this up. After 13 years, HSBC quietly agreed to compensate customers. The official figure: 6,700 people. Wilson says the real number is closer to 500,000. He estimates the fraud totalled over £1 billion. HSBC has paid out around £200 million so far, with some victims receiving over £10,000. No fines. No prosecutions. Nobody went to jail. Wilson, meanwhile, has been unemployable ever since. Blacklisted. Living on benefits. Nearly lost his home. The bank that defrauded half a million people kept its licence. The man who exposed it lost everything. Source: @guardian | nicholaswilson_com

The co founder of this business has donated a huge wad (£250,000 I heard) to The Greens

@Councillorsuzie What a looney

Ridiculous. Those that work pay for those who make expensive choices and often don’t work and have never paid into the system. This is unfair Ms Phillipson, unfair for those of us working hard and paying tax.

@Ed_Miliband @neso It’s not owned by your mate by any chance? The one who donates to the Uni-party.

@benonwine In your pants?

What Advice would you give?

Eleven Iranians were hanged last week. You heard me correct they were hanged in 21st-century for demanding freedom. I’m grateful to @bariweiss, @jaketapper, and @marthamaccallum for giving me the platform to name them. I hope a responsible media must bring their stories and their faces to the front pages. A ceasefire does not mean peace in Iran. The Islamic Republic’s war against its innocent civilians continues, with hundreds still on death row. I call on international community to help save their lives.💔 #StopExecutionsInIran #DigitalBlackoutInIran
