Nice to see they don't have any idea what they're being paid for though. That seems less than stellar.

I'm no fan of Reform, but this is a non-story. Any MP with a blue tick can and will earn in the exact same way, it's not some specific deal with Reform.

Fascist grifters filling up their pockets with money from dodgy right wing deals!!!

And their constituents - no interest nor integrity!!!

So Lowe’s income appears to be about £1,500 for two weeks or £39,000pa. Sad to think there’s a living to be made from encouraging antagonism

Tice’s submission is predictably vague

Is the amount they get based (wholly or in part) on how many responses/likes they get? I suspect it is, making controversial, inflammatory tweets more potentially valuable than normal ones.

Yes, that’s absolutely my understanding of payments to blue tick accounts and why certain individuals post as they do to encourage interaction

Cannot believe MPs are permitted to boost their incomes with such tawdry methods.

Who am I kidding, yes I can...

Indeed.

And once again, for anyone worried, Geoffrey Cox is managing to keep the wolf from the door.

The last time I looked he was the MP for the Virgin islands. That was a couple of years ago, though.

I can sleep easy now.

Not remotely unusual or new for them to be paid for clicks and likes. Farage was doing it for RT years ago check out Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring
