Big money should NEVER have been allowed in politics or elections.

Seems other precautions didn't get done after Jan 6...slippery Don tries so many things and gets away with them
Appreciate it started before he took office and that he can't broadcast it if he's trying to keep it as an intelligence war, but he can't win if he doesn't show due awareness of its existence.
In particular SM Broligarths with the power to radicalise corrupt and infiltrate on a global basis 24-7
And ideally combined with Leveson2 for C21st
Signed,
The United States of Oligarchy
When you consider Putin ally Musk spent 1/4 of a Billion in 6 wks to elect convicted Fellon Trump to a 2nd term
Now an Existential threat to🌐democracy.
The absence of "knowledge" to whom they are bloody dealing with, how infected the "consultants" that hover giving "advice". The investment fund's with tentacles in our infrastructure.
Think wankery they fail to see the danger off. 🤦
I've watched one slow motion car crash...in July
I expected the perpetual motion of that to at least slow down.
Towards eventual stop.
Suddenly it feels like the accellarator has once again been found along with the drivers blindfold.
Indeed, tide of self-serving pseudo-politics laced with Oligarchy (East or West) must be stemmed 🤷♀️

A rumoured $100 million donation from Musk to Nigel Farage’s Reform would be banned under the proposal
My latest for @bylinetimes.bsky.social

X could give a contract to the Reform party in some bullshit contract.
Plus he can fund influencers to promote Reform.
This would be toothless without also banning X / Twitter in the UK.
Which I'd fully endorse!
