We revealed that a secretive company has been set up by an aristocratic convicted fraudster with close ties to #NigelFarage’s #Reform party, raising “real red flags” for #corruption experts.

In response, a reader told us they think it's time to:

"ban political parties formed as limited companies and limited liability entities. As far as I can see the vast majority of the electorate wants this."

Do you agree, or do you think there is a justifiable reason for political parties to be companies?

"A secretive new company set up by an aristocratic convicted fraudster with close ties to Nigel #Farage’s #Reform party “raises real red flags”, a leading anti-corruption expert has warned. British electoral law does not differentiate between limited and unlimited companies. This leaves the system open to abuse – potentially allowing money to pour into political parties from overseas donors or otherwise illegitimate sources."

Continued thread

‘In a post on social media in 2022, Jack Aaron said Hitler was “brilliant in using Fe+Ni [socionics personality traits] to inspire people into action”.

“The motivation to acquire and wield force is legitimate, and there is a whole group of personality types inclined to this, and they have historically shaped the world we live in.”

So again, who are #Reform seeking to recruit personality wise?

The unspoken element of why this man is vetting #Reform candidates is in some ways worse than the sound bites attributed to him.

Assigning personality types to people and then justifying dictator’s abhorrent behaviour based on personality traits absolves the individuals of personal responsibility.

I loathe these Myers Briggs type tests…but what ‘type’ do Reform want?

Why does the Gruaniad insist on using the term 'former fraudster' - do they have any evidence he is not still such (and I know proving a negative is not generally easy). Surely once a fraudster always a #fraudster?

''It emerged recently on the MPs’ register of interests that Farage’s trip to Florida in December = Musk was part-funded by his friend and former fraudster #GeorgeCottrell, who paid for his £15,000 flight."

A common sense pilot program in a Pennsylvania prison utilizing the Scandinanian approach is so successful it is going to be expanded to three additional prisons. Its secret - treat incarcerated people like humans ready to grow into their best selves in a safe, respectful environment.

Might I add this article is from the Philadelphia Inquirer, an old style paper where the truth still matters more than a billionaire's whim. #reform

Great news in #UKPolitics . We now have an equal number of #Green MPs as #Reform

So no excuse now for having Farage to speak in the media without hearing from the Greens

It's quite impressive that Farage could not manage to work with 4 other people for only 8 months, doesn't make him look like a leader.

Now can the #Westminster bubble stop thinking they need to promote fascists and instead get on with doing what they promised before the election. Thanks

Charities in the UK

It is about time that the UK sorted out the mess that are Charities. A local group raisign money for their school is a charity, a right wing extremist organisation based in Tufton St (which one is not I hear you ask) is 'a charity'. And as an example of abuse, the JNF is subsidised to provide support for the Israeli military.

It is feckin stupid - but no doubt it suits our Lords, Ladies and Masters.

Canary · Yet another UK charity has been caught funding Israel's militaryIn total, JNF UK transmitted £3,333,000 to ‘beneficiary organisations’ in Israel - but many of these had direct links to the military

The more I grow older and the more I read, the more I realize the United States cannot be reformed. A socialist revolution is needed, we need a system in which the people control the means of production and the people can vote in a direct democracy. I’m done with the duopoly. #Revolution #Reform

After #Musk saying #Frogface did not "have what it takes to be Prime Minister' one of #Reform's own MPs, Rupert Lowe, says: "Nigel is a fiercely independent individual and is extremely good at what we have done so far. He has got messianic qualities. Will those messianic qualities distil into sage leadership? I don't know."

How we laughed at this 😅

Update ... 24 hours later, Lowe had the whip withdrawn, meaning they are now down to 4 MPs

But I am still laughing 😃
