“Farage, Johnson, and Harborne accused of rigging the 2019 general election”

by Another Angry Voice on Substack

@uk_politics

“In the wake of the revelation that Nigel #Farage received an undisclosed political donation of £5 million from the Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher #Harborne, the former Brexit Party MEP Ben #Habib has made extraordinary allegations of corruption.

Habib claims that there was a deal between Nigel Farage, Christopher Harborne, and Boris #Johnson to rig the 2019 general election”

"If an #LLM trains on UK media and UK media has mentioned Farage 442 times against Greer's 27, the model reflects that. Not because of a deliberate choice, but because that's what was in the data." -- @RaffKarva

The idea of people asking a #ChatBot how to vote is depressing, but I bet it happens. If chatbots are systematically overemphasising #ReformUKLtd, that's a problem, and one both the #ElectoralCommission and #OfCom should take action about.

So what does the UK #ElectoralCommission do when misinformation on political party leaflets is rife?

Has it asked any of the parties to publicly renounce their dodgy polling data that they are putting out to the public - often national or constituency polls irrelevant to the local ward?

“Farage’s foreign income: Mapping his millions...”

by Sam Bright on Substack

@uk_politics
@UKLabour
@ZackPolanski

“The Reform leader is the UK’s highest-earning MP, which is no mean feat given the volume of greed amassed in the House of Commons.

By my calculations, Farage has clocked up nearly £2 million in income and gifts since he was elected as the member for Clacton in July 2024”

[..]

“But one of the most striking findings is the amount of money earned by Reform’s leader – the guy who wants to be the next UK prime minister – from overseas interests, including foreign governments”

It's gone. The #AlbaParty is dead. Deceased. Defunct. It is no more. ❤️

I had missed the actual day of Alba's demise, recorded by the #ElectoralCommission as 26 March 2026. See https://search.electoralcommission.org.uk/English/Registrations/PP12700

Alba never won any seat in any election at any level, but it provided a vehicle for Alex #Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland and disgraced #sexPest (according to his own lawyer). It was also a hotbed of #transphobia.

The party of #SleepyCuddles & the #Transphobes is gone.

@TimWardCam

That’s a really good point - let’s hope the #ElectoralCommission has taken note and finds its dentures to hold #Reform to account if necessary when they report their expenses for the local elections.

Shouldn't something be done about this corruption or does the Epstein Class have the say on that?
