Crypto investor gives £9m to Reform UK as donations exceed those to Tories Christopher Harborne’s record gift revealed in Electoral Commission figures prompts renewed calls for cap on political donations

Crypto investor gives £9m to Reform UK as donations exceed those to Tories.

Super rich don't donate, they invest to shape party policies to secure advantages for their class.

Normal people can't match them.

Direct donations to political parties must be criminalized.

None of this is going to make poor, angry, white people less poor or less angry.

Like Zohran, Zack offers the thrill of cost free rebellion.

The Spectator are confused.

It's not going to be cost free.

Billionaires are going to pay more.

We need to take save our country from the billionaires

I just had a chat with Grok about how my account on twitter is being throttled back and quite honestly I'm in shock.

Social Media is fucked.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Fuck me. The Green Party will be ahead of Labour within a month or two.

Great work @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏 👍

Make hope normal again 💚

'Clear' fall in global greenhouse gas emissions expected for the first time Greenhouse gas emissions have soared for decades but are now due to fall within 10 years after new pledges, the United Nations has said - though the projection takes into account promises from Joe Bid...

It's either that John, or have a fair, fit for purpose electoral system. You can see the bind Starmer is in.

What a shame we don't have a leader who would pledge to put country before party.

Yeah, who wants to vote for somebody they actually want to win..

The residents of Reform UK Party Ltd-run Councils elected them on the basis of finding massive savings, yet Farage’s ‘Party’ has only delivered tax rises, cuts, and plenty of embarrassing headlines.

There will be another totally legitimate reason next time too.

Our system is broken

We're in an endless loop of tactical voting

£75,000!!!!

Language....🤣

Is #followBackFriday a thing over here?

If not let's make it one.

Like, repost and follow anyone back who does.

Happy fucking Friday 😁

Will I ever get to vote for the party that I actually want to win?

Our electoral system is not fit for purpose

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.

It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.

Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

She's a fucking idiot. The whole government are.

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

Capitalism is cancerous.
And on track to kill our entire species.

What Reform's Kent nightmare means for Farage's dream of becoming PM Reform is hoping to prove it is fit for government by the way it runs local authorities Nigel Farage is relying on Kent County Council to prove Reform can hold office. Councillors pictured are Clirs Paul Thomas, Oliver Bradshaw, Bill Barrett and Maxine Fothergill

"We've undeclared the climate crisis, which will free us up further down the line to make many more savings when we start to unpick all the net zero targets that have been sort of baked into the constitution. Then we can save a lot more money in the long term." ClIr Kemkaran, leader of KCC, last month called for the return of international railways to the county (Photo: Gareth Fuller/PA) CIr Kemkaran said she had appointed an internal Department of Local Government Efficiency or "Doge team" which was scrutinising each Cabinet member on what savings could be made.

Reform has “undeclared the climate crisis” to try to find savings.
Wow. If only we’d known it was that easy. Don’t like it? Just “undeclare” it. Simples.

The thought of clowns like this in government is just beyond anything remotely sane. Let’s not go there.

One thing I know for sure mum, you and I shouldn't be paying taxes top up wages for companies making millions/billions

How's this for an idea instead of/alongside a wealth tax.

Link a companies profit to the minimum they can pay staff?

£5 million = £20 p/h
£7 million = £26 p/hr

Etc.... not necessarily those numbers but you get my drift.

Gets rid of a lot of the difficulties with a wealth tax.
