Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Funny how all these awful shits banging on about "core British values" always mean racism. They never mean the post-war consensus of a welfare state, NHS, social housing that dominated and transformed the lives of most people currently alive in the UK.
