Frogface wants to stop people living in the UK from being able to vote, but at the same time he is happy to take millions of pounds in donations from a Thailand-based businessman https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-reform-uks-donations-have-come

The invisible man whose millions are transforming British politics

Nigel Farage aims to win big in May’s elections, helped by a record-breaking £9m donation from a secretive billionaire. Christopher Harborne lives in Thailand, made a fortune in cryptocurrency and bankrolled the Brexit party before backing Reform. What does his money buy?

I wonder if Frogface is worried that his Thai investor might ask for his money back, after Deform UK Party Ltd lost to a party which had only received a total of £371,753 in donations by Q3 of 2025*?

* Q3 of 2025 is the latest available figures from the Electoral Commission

@kim_harding I think it does show that money doesn't win elections, and that might discourage donors/bribers.

@kim_harding

The entire point of everything Farage does is to get given money by people.

The fake political party works for him. If it didn't, he'd find some other scam.

Farage wanted to undermine democracy BEFORE he lost the by-election.

Millions for Deform UK and sewer mouth farage from non UK resident donors

All such donations should land in a fund designated to increase Integration and encourage decency of UK Citizens

reform supporters very badly need integration training and work more than the vast majority of those who came on a small boat.

As shouting insults and violent assault is main talent of farages followers they should be sent to Ukraine where they can shout and fight all day

against Russia.

@kim_harding @ChrisMayLA6 How many British citizens were not allowed to vote in the BREXIT because they lived in Europe? He basically doesn’t want people who wouldn’t vote for him to vote!
