This very British type of complacency is infuriating and reminiscent of the useless Remain campaign in 2016, which failed to learn that the lying, manipulative hard Right doesn’t play by the same ethical rules as nice folk, has no sense of honourable conduct and sees fair play as weakness.

Those ministers are doing Reform's work for them. They're saying Reform will manipulate public opinion against the current government. Which means that the current gov't has no competence or strategy to address the corruption Reform is based on. It's capitulation.
Musk is, unfortunately, just the more visible iteration of this rot.

Labour asleep at the wheel
There needs to be a toughening of stance - no more ‘playing by the rules’.
This isn’t a game anymore.
Reform will complain that the establishment is out to get them, because like a spoilt child, that’s what they do, but if the playing field is level then they have nothing to complain about.
Just get on with it, Labour! 🙄
MAGA must Lie, Cheat and Steal! Abortion. Guns. Equality. End Christian nationalism!Maga is the CONFEDERACY!!

Any legislation curtailing donations will impact Labour too.
Only answer is state funding.
We are being lets down, not by decency as they would claim, but by weakness in spine and thought.
These people are not civilised, they do not play by the rules of civilisation and you should not treat them in a civilised manner.
And it's worth bearing in mind that 'liberal' and 'liberalism' mean different things in different countries.
Not everywhere is America.
I want to be wrong.
Farage is a clown with an audience and if Musk officially backs him, Labour have a problem.
They're either woefully ignorant or willfully complicit.
Either way, their inaction will be our undoing.
Foolish if they are.
By 2029 the overwhelming chance is Musk will be utterly reviled. Tying Farage to him and Trump is the task.
This is also about "Project Russia"

I know you're busy with your own politics, but you still have a fighting chance. The U.S. has already crossed the Rubicon. If I see anything that cuts through the tsunami of disinformation, I'm elevating it. Please do the same.

the right are proving this time after time. This “going high” crap needs to stop.
Yet the Murdock papers are blaming labour after a few months in power ..
Nonsense
Can you imagine Maga ,reform etc if Sorus was paying labours bills !!
Average person is too fuckn' lazy to go read and understand a political platform themselves so $$$ wins. You get the govt u deserve.
There r apps which tell u where u sit compared to a party.
My cuz did it and found out he wasn't a conservative.

If we block all mega donors (even better, block all donors and fund political campaigns from the public purse) then I don't think that they've got a leg to stand on.

When will people wake up to the US being an oligarchy, and we are headed that way shortly without urgent parliamentary reform?
DO SOMETHING YOU OAFS
If only politicians invested as much time on actually working for the people voting for them, as they do to finance "seat-glue" for themselves, the World would be a better place.
After all, it worked with the US. It only took $250 million
The march of populism, extreme wealth, social media extremism, the rightwing owned press is seeing the crushing of democracy by autocracy
Any money involved and tories will explain it away.! Take the money nige, don’t forget musk might be on that deportation order so squeeze as much as you can.👍
They’re either too incompetent to see what’s happening, or they’re taking orders from elsewhere, or Putin has a vast Kompromat dossier that could hit the internet any day now.
No lying
No corruption
Transparent and restricted funding
Clarity what they fund
Control
On supportive ‘media’
in a boxing match, if someone punches you in the balls, and they’re paying the referee to say “no that’s cool,” you don’t let them keep going.
