"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair"
It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

Reform will give millions in tax breaks to crypto investors. The Institute of Fiscal Studies can see no reason for the policy although a cynical person could probably think of about 72 million

Steve Reed on 25 March explaining that the £100k cap on donations "will therefore apply retrospectively, so it includes all donations from overseas electors received from today".
Yes, but how are people who never bother going to Parliament supposed to know that?

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

You might have to turn up for the results of this one, Nige.

"It was at this point that an oyster went down the wrong way and blocked my ear canals, meaning I missed the whole conversation where I agreed to a foreign donor illegally giving us £500,000..."

Reform UK did not commission three influential opinion polls paid for by a US company, according to Nadine Dorries.
Two senior Reform UK officials have stepped down following the broadcast of undercover footage filmed by Verbatim, a group of investigative journalists, and verified by Channel 4 News that revealed a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
The former Conservative MP and Culture Secretary and now Reform UK member told Krishnan Guru-Murthy that if an illegal foreign donation had been made to her new party - Reform UK - "it would have been rejected".
The Reform party has denied wrongdoing and launched an internal investigation. Nigel Farage has insisted that the party has broken no laws.
James Orr and Dan Jukes have both stepped down from their roles within the party and denied wrongdoing.

Responding to our investigation, one of the UK's leading election lawyers explained why paying £32,500 for polling constituted donations to Reform:
“This is a donation just as much as giving a gift of money directly to Reform. It's money that's coming from America. That's a foreign donation that's prohibited in our law. An arrangement is being proposed to cover up the fact that it's an impermissible donation... and that can be a criminal offence.”

If Farage had any honour he’d resign as an MP. But he doesn’t. So he won’t.
Excellent work by @VerbatimFilms & Channel 4

Verbatim went undercover in Reform. Nigel Farage has some very serious questions to answer 👇
