Inside the Reform Party

They already do plenty for people on benefits from what I hear. Aren’t they going to make it easier to claim more benefits?

What about their debt to their Russian investors

I have just googled "where does reform get its funding from"

I cant see where Russia features.

Not saying you are wrong, but not saying you are right either.

I have just let comments about Russia pass me by, previously.

Well, now I'm confused because you referred to the Labour of old. I'm sure you're aware that many of those who support Labour (or have historically voted Labour but no more) think that Labour isn't doing enough for the poor and deprived.

If I were a cynic, I'd think you just want to jump on any bandwagon which criticises Labour.

Why do you describe being amazed that people want to shoot themselves in the foot as having an axe to grind?

I always used to be a Liberal ... it described me perfectly .. I am not a Lib Dem ... but cant express how I feel .. not Reform ... not Labour or Tory ...help !

Yep I never heard that. If it was the case you think it would have been all over the msm 🤔
I don’t follow TR so wouldn’t know about him being in bed with the Russians.

Well you are wrong there CW. I stopped voting Labour when TB took us into that unlawful war.
That’s why I can’t stand them.
Not jumping on any bandwagon!
I have no interest in this lot either

This is worth a read.

Is that it?
One article about 1 man?

So now Gn posters keep posting about Russian interference?

It was merely the trigger, it was a serious case, and more involvement is suspected, with just cause fancythat. I’m sure Mr Farage is concerned and is conducting his own root and branch review of the Reform Party as a consequence, as are the other parties. We know there is Russian involvement in UK politics, only this week two men were charged with setting fire to a property and a car associated with the PM.

What will Reform do for us, should they get in?
What about their debt to their Russian investors?

Where do you get the debt bit from?

Christopher Harborne Reform's main contributor has links to Russia. He's giving funds to Reform and Farage to have a major influence on them.

This is a known fact?

I have become dubious about all the posts saying about Farage and Russia now.

And deliberate social media posts feeding disinformation…

I dont much doubt that.

Try asking Google.
The one you already know about is described
Nathan Gill, paid by a pro Kremlin operative to deliver specific scripts critical of Ukraine and make pro-Russian statements un the European Parliament. Gill was found guilty and is now in prison.

I had assumed there was a whole heap more of Russian shenanigans to do with the Reform Party, than has come to light already.
Going by the amount it is talked about on this forum.

Silly me to have previously made that assumption.

And there is more on Google. Easy for anyone to find.

Party DONORS and One Hyde Park
Significant attention has been drawn to Nick Candy , Reform's TREASURER and key donors who have lies to the luxury apartment complex in London, which has housed several sanctioned Russian oligarchs.

And not forgetting the number of times Farage was paid to appear on the Russian state funded network RT (Russia Today)

And now figures such as Keir Starmer and the Liberal Democrats have called for deeper investigations into the extent of ties between the Reform Party and Russian influence.

I look forward to adding to this list, once we are told the result of these investigations.

The Welsh national leader for Reform is a very senior post within the party fancythat, and there are serious enough concerns about foreign interference to warrant a cross-party parliamentary investigation. The fact that only one politician has been caught definitely does not prove that others are not involved, or indeed receiving payments from foreign powers. I’m surprised that anybody would dismiss this, surely whatever the truth is it needs to be out.

Agreed MollyNew.

The ‘let’s give ‘em a go’ attitude is very dangerous. Giving Reform ‘a go’ could bring about the ruin of our wonderful country.

The damage they would do in a 5 year term is immeasurable, and the country may never recover.

So let’s not ‘give ‘em a go’ eh!

Just look at what Trump has done to the US and the world. There is your answer if you vote Reform. I despair.
