Labour’s Hypocritical Clampdown on Foreign Interference
This week Labour announced a fake clampdown on foreign interference. I say fake because foreign interference will almost certainly continue in spite of the Government’s new rules, the entire purpose of which is to stop Reform from getting the same advantages Labour (and the Left generally) enjoys.
Indeed, the clampdown seemed rather pointed, closely following Reform’s record donation of £9 million donation (topped up with another £3 million) from Thai-based British crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. The new rules may as well be written for Harborne: donations in cryptocurrency to UK political parties are banned, and donations from Brits living abroad are capped at £100,000 annually.

Reform received a huge donation – legal – from a rich UK citizen.
It took the ‘government’ no time at all, to create this legal fiction and make this contribution ‘illegal’. Days, weeks max.
Meanwhile 100 years later they can’t stop ‘immigration’, ‘the small boats’, ‘visa overstays’, or the Muslim rape gangs.
Remember the Rona plandemic? Took them no time to enforce a Medical Nazism, from diapers to ‘where to walk symbols’.
Very agile when it suits them.
And what about all the “charities” that receive money from all over the world that are really political campaigning organisations.
Tony Blair Institute funded by Larry Ellison in the U.S.
Beijing Barry Gardiner was funded by China
Angela Rayner funded through UK subsidiaries by Sun European Partners LLP
And so on etc
Reform will simply channel overseas fundings in the same way.
Yet another complete waste of taxpayers money. The Ides of May approach.
But I have come to expect the impact of the Ides of May will not destabilise the Labour Regime. They are too thick skinned to notice.
I doubt it is as simple as you suggest. Likely the free services of experienced KC and accountants needed.
You may very well be correct. I am not a lawyer. But I can tell you that Angela Rayner has received £50,000 this year from the UK Jordon Group which has itself been bought by the Bellrock Group, a UK subsidiary of Sun European Partners LLP, themselves affiliated to the U.S. Sun Group. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it does all look very straightforward.

Complaining about “Foreign Interference” yet wanting back into the EU to let unaccountable unelected bureaucrats to dictate to us, adhere to the decisions of International Courts and Treaties that let hundreds of thousands of migrants simply turn up expecting to be housed and fed, and fully comply with absurd climate policies that all come from the UN. ——–Yes we don’t have much “foreign interference” do we? —–ha ha ha ha jeez.
Good point
Why is the DS website playing up again. Demands repeated login. On my laptop it seems to say my details are not recognised but on iPhone they are.
This also reveals the irreligious nature of the Labour Party, which has forgotten that biblical story of Jesus saying to the mob ”Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. What have we come to?
President Trump no doubt remembers the 100 activists sent by Labour to interfere in the US elections. Yet Labour are now against foreign interference in elections?
