Do you all think we might see portrait of Musk at Trump Florida home soon?

osbi.bsky.social•72 days ago

Alright Britain, do better at stopping this nefarious interference into your government than we're doing. Please.

Look at those sacks of shit.

The man responsible for UK self harm epidemic known as #brexit and stoking the fire for the summer race hate riot's, plans to take a bribe to sell his brand of hatred to the UK. Clacton fell for it and he hasn't been back just plotting with his American backers now they have a foot in our democracy

I like to think that we Brits are wise to what these con artists are up to.
But maybe not.
Also unlikely Farage will hold on to Clacton.

Ghouls

Two billionaires and a wealthy privately educated fuckwit…… oh yes Reform is the party for the working classes….. like fuck they are.

ckimbs.bsky.social•72 days ago

P.S the billionaires are also fuckwits.

captseadog.bsky.social•73 days ago

Must be nothing going on in Clacton then.

billga2603.bsky.social•73 days ago

Lies and the promise of brutality must be a winning combo.

maryjka.bsky.social•73 days ago

is anything being done about it or we'll just watch..?!

What the ….? What has he got to do with UK politics? He shouldn’t even be in US politics! Such funding from abroad should be absolutely forbidden.

jorgejt.bsky.social•73 days ago

“Foreign” instigation?

coastalcyclist.bsky.social•73 days ago

Heck, why not buy another government. It's just chump change for him. #billionaires

You only need to listen to Times Radio for two minutes now to realise it has become Daily Express Radio. I thought for a while it did a fairly good job of impartial broadcasting, now it's just a right-wing propaganda shouting machine.

UK political parties should not be allowed to take donations from non UK sources but how would you police it money would just be put into fake accounts, Elon Musk is a danger to politics and Democracy all over the world

westcoastergirl.bsky.social•73 days ago

UK, France, Germany and Canada are clearly being targeted in the worst of ways. These same players ( Trump world), Musk, Thiel, powerful zealots (Project 2025). It’s a global class war and we need to call it out. Medieval ages 2.O coming to a democracy near you.

Doesn't Elon have a day job?

longingformypast.bsky.social•73 days ago

Yes. Non stop posting and reposting vile bullshit, hate and misinformation on Twatter.

TBH, I was ok with Farage...not now!

Journalists: do a better job interrogating what it was about Musk/Trump's 'ground game' that Reform wants to emulate. Was it the $1mil a day giveaway to vote for Trump? The endless lies and disinformation spouted by Musk to his millions of followers? The bots sent to attack progressive content?

olliejack.bsky.social•73 days ago

We are just repeating the mistakes of Farage 2014-2016. Media didn't zero in on the details of Brexit or Farage's supposed utopia, they just let him bash immigrants on Question Time every week. He has no substance, no policies, and no idea what to do in power. The right questions makes this obvious

olliejack.bsky.social•73 days ago

"Candy said: “Elon’s managed to do an incredible job for president-elect Trump and he’s sort of changed the political spectrum in America.""

This has to be challenged. Musk spent months lying to his 300mil+ followers about the end of democracy if Harris won. This isn't savvy politics, it's deceit

How is the idea of Musk specifically funding Reform UK Ltd permissible in the UK? Do these “discussions” somehow involve Candy laundering illegal US funding? WTF is going on here, & what is being done to stop our democracy being sold to the highest bidder?

moongirlsusie.bsky.social•73 days ago

The nightmare ramps up.

troydee.bsky.social•73 days ago

Why is the legality of this not included in the headline.

Do your bloody job, stop being lickspittles

tempus-fukit.bsky.social•73 days ago

It’s called “workshopping a con”
