Have we any comment from @michaelgove who now sits on talk shows, edits The Spectator, and is in the HoL? He set up and oversaw the VIP lane Good experienced British PPE producers could not get near and sold abroad Much of the VIP lane PPE had to be stored and destroyed at cost

And around £1bn of the £1.7bn spent on PPE from VIP suppliers was wasted on supplies later deemed unfit to use. This is a huge scandal.

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

Here’s the @bbcquestiontime clip that triggered the @reformparty_uk “let’s talk about anything but Brexit can we?” approach to debate … even its architects know it has screwed our economy

We need to talk about Oakright Global. Because Oakright is @IsabelOakeshott. And Oakeshott is @reformparty_uk. We need to talk about Lybia, Nigeria, Israel, Iran, UAE; undeclared events and activities; Reform's parliamentary activity overlap with Oakright's clients. We need to talk about the "quiet" and the "loud". #oakrightglobal

Dear @IsabelOakeshott will you please clarify what lobbying and public opinion campaign you/Oakright offered to Lybia (via former MP Daniel Kawczynski who now works with you)? Why was that not registered under FIRS lobbying rules? Was any Reform MP doing anything linked to Lybia?
دانييل كاوتشينسكي، النائب البريطاني السابق عن حزب المحافظين، ما زال يحاول بعد فشله السياسي أن يرجع للساحة من باب الملف الليبي، رغم إنه كان واحد من أشد المحرضين ضد القيادة العامة للجيش الوطني وضد الفريق صدام حفتر شخصيًا. في أكثر من مناسبة داخل البرلمان البريطاني استخدم كاوتشينسكي موقعه للهجوم على الجيش الوطني الليبي، ووجه أسئلة رسمية لوزارة الخارجية طالب فيها بفرض عقوبات على صدام حفتر، مستندًا إلى تقارير من منظمات منحازة. هذا السلوك وقتها كان واضح إنه عداء مباشر لأي مشروع وطني حقيقي في ليبيا. اليوم بعد خسارته في الانتخابات، رجع كاوتشينسكي يحاول يقدم نفسه كوجه جديد “محايد” من خلال ما يسمى بالجمعية الليبية البريطانية للتنمية LBDA، ويتحرك عبر بوابة “الشراكة والتعاون الاقتصادي” وكأنه لم يكن يومًا من خصوم الجيش. لكن في الكواليس بدأ يظهر كلام كثير، مجرد word whisper، عن تحركات غامضة مرتبطة به وببعض الشخصيات الليبية المقربة من دوائر مالية. الحديث المتداول يقول إن كاوتشينسكي يعمل مع الصحفية البريطانية إيزابيل أوكشوت من خلال شركة اسمها Oakright Global FZ-LLC، وهي شركة استشارية مسجلة في الإمارات تعمل في مجالات السياسة والإعلام وإدارة الأزمات والتأثير في الرأي العام، وتقدّم نفسها على أنها فريق من مستشارين ذوي خبرة في الحكومات والإعلام والسياسة الدولية. الشركة هذه، حسب موقعها الرسمي، متخصصة في صياغة الرسائل السياسية والتعامل مع الأزمات وتوجيه الصورة العامة لصالح عملائها. اللي زاد الشكوك إن بعض المصادر غير المؤكدة تحدثت عن وساطة بين كاوتشينسكي وشخصيات ليبية عبر هذه الشركة، لعقود استشارية أو حملات إعلامية، لكن ما فيش أي دليل رسمي لحد الآن على صحة هالكلام. في المقابل، ظهرت مؤخرًا الصحفية أوكشوت نفسها بمقال في The Telegraph تكلمت فيه بإيجابية عن القيادة العامة واعترفت بمجهودات الجيش الوطني في محاربة الإرهاب وتحقيق الأمن، وهو مقال أثار جدل واسع لأن خصوم الرجمة روجوا إنه مدفوع الثمن وإن في أموال وصلت لقرابة 3 ملايين دينار ليبي، وهي إشاعات لم يتم التأكد منها حتى الآن. كل هذا يبين إن الملف الليبي صار ساحة يتحرك فيها بعض السياسيين البريطانيين السابقين لأهداف شخصية ومصالح مالية، ومنهم كاوتشينسكي اللي يحاول يبدّل جلده بعد ما فقد نفوذه في لندن. ليبيا ما تحتاجش ناس من النوع هذا، اللي اليوم يدّعي الصداقة وبالأمس كان أول من يحرّض ضدها. والقيادة العامة لازم تكون واعية لكل التحركات اللي تستهدف تشويه أو استغلال صورتها إعلاميًا وسياسيًا. وبإذن الله، الأيام الجاية نطلع في فيديو نوضح فيه أكثر خلفيات هذا الموضوع وشن حقيقة الارتباطات اللي تدور بين كاوتشينسكي، أوكشوت، والجمعية الليبية البريطانية للتنمية، بالأسماء والمصادر، حتى تكون الصورة واضحة لكل الليبيين والمتابعين للشأن الوطني

Foreigners interfering in our government was what @TiceRichard and @reformparty_uk campaigned against. Are they taking money on the QT to do just that?
Why are @IsabelOakeshott aka Dubai Dolly and @TiceRichard aka Dubai Dickie, quiet on this matter? Why isn't this all over the news? Isabel running a secret non existing company, selling influence in the UK @itvnews @BBCPolitics @BBCNews @Channel4News @lbc

This is somewhere between deeply irresponsible and a lie. HMRC will be able to "seize money" from people who owe tax, aren't disputing it, but just fail to pay. That's people who cause the rest of us to pay more tax.
Under Labour, HMRC will reach into your bank account and seize your money. Under Reform, you’ll get a £30 rebate if HMRC leave you stuck on the phone for 30 mins.

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone. They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank. Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews): Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use. Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)

EXCL: Nigel Farage’s newest billionaire donor was in business with a powerful Iranian religious foundation under the authority of the country’s supreme leader, raising questions about his past dealings with the hardline republic. Hossein Ghandehari, also called Sasan, was little known in the UK until he pledged to give millions to Reform UK this summer and donated £50,000 to Farage to cover the cost of two passes for the Davos World Economic Forum.

Hi @Arron_banks. I was wondering if you would be able to explain why Devon Bay Solutions has no PSC? Your brother claims to be a director there... Also, that's a lot of red numbers, no?
Old dog, old tricks: let's start with Theunis Bassage. He's a director of (at least) 2 Isle of Man companies linked to (and likely owned by) @Arron_banks: Sea Point and Marquise. Bassage was CEO of Wilton, a nominee services provider involved in the Hartley pension scandal.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

Remember when JD Vance had morals? The quest for power corrupts.
Replying to @JDVance
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

It’s not just Vivek Ramaswamy choosing pedophiles over people. Ken Paxton’s office offered a man who had faced child-sex-abuse charges a plea deal with one day in jail and no Texas sex-offender registration. Paxton now brags the man did 60. Hoffman served less than a month. Donors named in the Epstein files gave nearly $4.7 million to Mike Rogers (MI) and groups backing him. Then Rogers said we have to “protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him.” Michael Whatley (NC) appointed a convicted child sex offender to NC GOP leadership and kept him there after parents objected. Trump called Whatley “fantastic.” As Arizona Senate president, Andy Biggs helped kill a bill to replace the police force in Colorado City, where Warren Jeffs’ child-rape cult held power. Marshals had helped return an underage bride who fled. Biggs says, “I knew what was going on.” And he did nothing when he could have. Mike Collins (GA) voted against forcing the Epstein files out. Roger Marshall (KS) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS) voted to block an amendment that would have required their release. Now Epstein survivors are on TV telling voters what those votes meant. And Trump and JD Vance stand behind every one of these corrupt pieces of shit. This is the MAGA ticket. Every single one is on the ballot in two weeks. MAGA: Protecting Pedophiles Over People Every Time.

Who is ready for an @Arron_banks list of companies (including linked to his son and brother, onshore and offshore) and some colour into the seemingly unregistered lobbying activities by @andywigmore? Now that will be a proper exclusive. 🚔💸🚩 Ps: Arron, so many red numbers? 🤔
🚨EXC: Nigel Farage has reunited leading Brexit backers to fight Andy Burnham’s attempts to bring the UK closer to Europe He told @Telegraph has been in talks with Arron Banks, the co-founder of Leave .EU, to “reactivate” the campaign The pair are meeting next week
