Tbh I doubt they donate anyway. They’re too busy funding Tommy ten names
Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S

@universitypress.cambridge.org needs to get ahead of this. Their reputation depends on it.
After James Orr was filmed by undercover reporters, Cambridge University has told the Guardian that it "is looking into these matters".
What about the other extensive concerns raised about Orr, Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, by Byline Times?

Nigel Farage represents one of the UK's poorest constituencies.
He made more money since entering Parliament than any other MP.
Now he's forcing the taxpayer to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for a by-election gimmick to distract from investigations into gigantic "donations" he's received.

Farage wants an illiberal democracy where politicians in power can do whatever they want because the "will of the people" is behind them.
It's totally incompatible with liberal democracy where governments have checks on power, and the rule of law — which should apply to everyone equally.

Farage claims this is a “people versus the establishment” by-election.
In reality, it’s a “people versus the rule of law” by-election.
It’s all part of his attempt to turn Britain into a Trumpian illiberal democracy, where corrupt and lawbreaking politicians are placed above the law.

He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early.

Farage forcing this by-election is still very much him acting from a position peril and weakness.
He will now face even more national attention and scrutiny.
He would never have resigned unless the allegations were really serious and the alternative of waiting for a recall by-election was worse.

Farage forcing a by-election has two main benefits:
1. Gives him greater control of the narrative.
2. Possibly averts a second potential by-election on unfavorable post-investigation terms (assuming he wins the first) as it will be harder to get 10% of constituents who want another by-election.

What's Farage's strategy?
He knows the Parliamentary Commissioner will likely determine that he broke rules, and face a by-election recall petition.
That would place him in a weak position where he's forced into fighting a by-election as a sanction for rule-breaking, putting him on the back foot.
