I am having a particularly frustrating week, so here’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The eruption of Sarychev Peak in the Aleutian Islands, seen by the crew of the space station. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The adrenaline ebbed, and the exultation of a moment years in the making passed. Wile E. Coyote looked down at the bloody, mangled corpse of the bird at his feet, and wondered - what now? He looked up, squinting in the desert sun, and saw a vulture circling in the cloudless sky.

a lot of people doubted how much the british media genuinely cared about integrity in academia and now is a great chance for the british media to prove that they’re not just gullible racists!

Just a reminder, Professor James Orr, Reform UK head of policy, teaches 'ethics' to undergraduates at Cambridge University youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI

the first rule of Crime Club is that you have to talk openly about your crimes as often as possible

Reform UK is a Long Con from a bunch of fascist, racist, treasonous grifters. Don't fall for it. The con is unravelling. Will Robert Redford, Paul Newman or Robert Vaughan, Marc Warren get away with the money? Or in a surprising twist, is it Robert Shaw that makes out like bandits.

Just keep muttering to myself "he was still trying to solicit another donation during the by election he held to avoid the investigation."

An episode of simultaneous untruthfulness not only from the Reform Party, but also from a RW pollster, a RW newspaper, and an RW academic says nothing good about the populist right in the UK

Very worth the read as well, in text it does really raise more questions about what JL Partners thought they were doing. www.verbatiminvestigations.com/full-investi...

Dirty Money: A Year Undercover in Reform UK

A yearlong investigation into Nigel Farage’s fundraising operation reveals a plot to break the law by bringing foreign money into British politics

At what point does a British by-election get awarded to the silver medalist, à la Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis? Asking for a friend of a friend, i.e. me. #Clacton

Channel 4 reporter: Hello. I am Mr. Alias and this is my extremely suspicious comically large donation that i can only make in the form of a bag of money with a dollar sign on it. every other reform guy: seems legit! let me tell you every single way in which i and my boss have broken the law

The legwork, and the sting, which seems to have caught out James Orr, Nigel Farage and Reform-UK was carried out by Verbatim Investigations who have dropped their own take on the story.

Dirty Money: A Year Undercover in Reform UK

A yearlong investigation into Nigel Farage’s fundraising operation reveals a plot to break the law by bringing foreign money into British politics

Somewhere in England, a tired man turns off Channel 4 news and wearily puts on a bin.

Undercover filming shows Nigel Farage celebrating illegal foreign donations Footage shows a plan to break electoral law by funnelling money from a US ‘businessman’ through a UK donor The donations funded a series of widely reported polls secretly commissioned by Reform

Shocked to learn that paragon of moral rectitude Nigel Farage should be involved in possibly criminal activity. Unimaginable that a man who worked in the City of London should stoop so low.

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

We're living in a golden age of political corruption scandals. Soon we'll have enough undercover exposes they can get their own freeview channel.

Dorian Lynskey@dorianlynskey.bsky.social · 10h ago

The Channel 4 expose on Reform is telly ecstasy. Prestige TV is great but can it beat watching Nigel Farage, James Orr and James Johnson getting stitched up for blatant corruption? No it cannot

This is why I find the whole ‘oh yes we need to show the public migration is handed control’ stuff from labour so stupid as well as immoral. The public at large isn’t basing their concerns on evidence or migration rates! How much clearer can we see this

Net migration is at its lowest level, outside of the pandemic, for fourteen years, small boat numbers are collapsing and yet you still can't move for 'migrant crisis' stories in the British media
