“I have been shocked by the lack of urgency among ministers about the prospect of Musk donating enormous sums of money to Nigel Farage’s Reform..a $100m (£80m) donation would be a game changer in British politics, eclipsing anything we’ve ever seen”

The big donations (from anyone or any organisation) should have been stopped a long time ago.

Name anything and the government always fails to act until it's too late to make a meaningful change..
Corrupt bastards!
Just need to get the message out to UK reform voters to kill this one dead.
How dare any govt of the U.K. refuse to legislate against this as a matter of urgency.
The money spent particularly in the US to buy elections is obscene.
I believe there are about 2000 professional lobbyists in DC
No matter the rules the perception will be that Musk is trying to buy the UK Government the same as the US.
It’s no use hiding behind the notion that Musk is about freedom of speech
We need to act now, not 6 months before the next GE.
Someone needs to stop him now before he starts getting his fingers in every pie.
They also want to annex us. You'll come to our assistance, right dear motherland?
Hello?
Nah! Who am I trying to kid here, he LOVES money!

But I will say that nicotine stained beermat being funded by a man who is currently promoting mass immigration over hiring American workers might backfire on Reform.
There are only one or two MP's that couldn't be bought and one of them was Jeremy Corbyn and look what the bastards do to him!.... some of those front stabbing f***ers were his own MP's.
Political funding should be capped at a modest level, like £50k per person per year.
No more buying seats in the House of Lords, no more billionaires meddling.
Could article 16 of the ECHR be used to stop the donation? Is this one of the reasons Farage hates the ECHR?!
