If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...

GB news has provided relentless positive PR for Nigel Farage while racking up tens of millions in financial losses. And now there is a new channel in the offing

It's a nuclear strike on any pretence at the equality of political power
A serious democratic society simply cannot allow this.
That's £72 million from just two men. (Both, until lately, based overseas).
The average UK earner (full-time) would have to work for over 1,800 years to raise that much.

Harborne has given Reform £36 million to match Delo's £36 million. The Telegraph describes it as a "show of force" from Reform's donors.
The two men's £72 million is greater than all of the spending by all political parties on the 2024 GE

If you want a new frame within which to understand why the whole world seems utterly miserable now, I'll give you one: we're quietly in WWIII.
"Quietly" because it's the regimes of just ten or so countries conspiring to destroy stability on Earth.
