“Reform[UK]’s £645,000 ‘Ghost’ Pollster”
by Josiah Mortimer and Max Colbert in The Byline Times
“Reform and its predecessor party spent over £645,000 on polling and canvassing work from an anonymous sole trader going by the name ‘COR Research’.
COR Research, which worked for the Brexit Party in 2019 and for Reform UK in 2024, has no Companies House entry, no social media presence, and ten key invoices are missing on the Electoral Commission website – something Reform UK has been criticised for by the elections watchdog”

The Ghost Who Keeps Signing by Lawson Akhigbe
The Land Use Act of 1978 vested radical title to land in the state governor. Customary authorities were meant to operate within that framework, not around it. Yet when the formal system becomes a source of frustration rather than facilitation, human ingenuity finds other routes. Enter the late Oba. His name carries historical weight. The palace, however, maintains no functional modern archive capable of systematic verification. Oral history is the dominant method, and most of the original participants are no longer available for cross-examination. The result is a paper trail that is difficult to audit and easy to exploit.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/29/the-ghost-who-keeps-signing-by-lawson-akhigbe/

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration appears to have forgotten that rule in its handling of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) controversy. In its determination to destroy the credibility of one man, Prince Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, it may have inflicted collateral damage on something far more valuable: the credibility of official government documentation itself. -

Lidl’s app-based payment feature seems to rely on linked card payments in some markets, while direct debit has been reported in others, such as Germany. Why not make a SEPA-based direct debit option available more broadly across the EU? That could reduce reliance on Visa and Mastercard and better align with Europe’s own payment infrastructure.

Finance is moving toward 24/7 markets. Money still often moves on old banking clocks.
Our latest looks at why BMO, CME Group, and Google Cloud are part of a bigger shift: the real fintech race is no longer just about stablecoins — it’s about regulated, programmable dollars institutions can actually use at market speed.
