Billionaire Christopher Harborne donated millions to Farage and Johnson. Then the pro-crypto announcements began. Is there a connection?
The crypto investorโs ยฃ5m gift to Reformโs leader coincided with the partyโs new-found advocacy for digital assets โ part of a pattern of significant political donations that also included ยฃ1m to the former Tory prime minister.Charlie Young (The Nerve)
"Liberal democracies should care about truth. Even the best of them will get things wrong of course, but thereโs something authoritarian about reshaping our entire legal and social order on the basis of blatant falsehoods. Especially when the function of that reshaping is to demonize and marginalise an already vulnerable minority"

"Racism, in modern British politics, rarely announces itself honestly anymore. It does not usually arrive screaming slurs in the street. It arrives presenting polling data and euphemisms. It talks endlessly about โlegitimate concernsโ and โcultural fitโ and โintegrationโ, while somehow reserving its greatest suspicion for people who look, sound or pray differently"

Report: The judge in the Filton 6 trial "secretly ruled that, despite not being charged with terrorism, there was a terrorist connection with the six, due to the activists attempting to influence the Israeli government."The so-called โterror connection" is highly likely to lead to punitive jail terms at sentencing on 12 June.

"Among Starmerโs key backers was pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn, who quietly donated ยฃ50,000 to Starmerโs leadership campaign (a donation only declared after the contest). The Israel lobby funded around half of Starmerโs cabinet. Corporate interests and think-tanks like Labour Together played their part. The plan worked beautifully: the membership was sidelined for a genocidal rogue state, and Starmerโs Labour became a moral vacuum"

Why do we allow bribes for politicians? Whether from foreign governments, big business, or oligarchs, they are all splashing the cash through direct donations, funding for trips and other perks and lucrative, non-parliamentary roles.
