Who are the young consultants importing MAGA to the UK? @mccoolingtons.bsky.social reports

This could very well be the most important story in politics for the last decade and a half. Please read and share this equally harrowing and illuminating account by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of just how dark the money in politics pit really goes. Absolutely mind blowing.

All lawyers have to undertake a ‘conflict check’ before taking on a new client. For Nigel Farage & George Cottrell to be sharing the same lawyers, it means the convicted money launderer & Reform leader’s interests are aligned. In what way? And who’s paying? 2/

NEW: Why would Nigel Farage & George Cottrell share the same lawyer? In @thenerve_news we revealed that the Reform donor under investigation by the NCA & the Reform leader under investigation by Parliamentary Standards share the same Carter Ruck lawyers. Why? 1/l

You really should read this. I'm not usually a huge fan of stories about stories, but this is more than that - a story of a real conspiracy, of those whose stated mission is to hold power to account silenced or cowed by that power until it's too big to ignore. Epic @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

In common with many I’ve felt hugely relieved that Murdoch has finally decided to expose Farage for what he is. The Times’ impressive reporting power has finally been unleashed. but as @carolecadwalla.bsky.social reminds me here before breakthrough in uk journalism comes failure. Read every word…

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

NEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇

President Milei’s plans to turn Argentina into an anarcho-capitalist AI paradise makes him just the latest in the nation’s long history of chancers and dictators, writes Uki Goñi

George Cottrell has been "hiding in plain sight" for years, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social said at our hearings last week. Only now are we catching up.

Is it just me, or is the idea of Aaron Banks, of all people, asking who funds @countbinface.bsky.social, the gold standard of hypocrisy, given his questionable connections? I feel @carolecadwalla.bsky.social should have something to say about this.

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what?? Today @thenerve.news news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson. 1/

If you've read about George Cottrell this morning...well he's part of this & coming soon. The rest of the media is *finally* onto Farage. But I've been at this for an entire decade & until now haven't had a team. Please sign up to @thenerve.news & support if you can 🙏 www.thenerve.news/membership

This is part 5 of @thenerve_news's series, #HarborneReceipts. We've tracked Harborne's £££ &... * Farage & Johnson's crypto policies. * The Brexit "deal" that saw Farage stand down his candidates ahead of critical general election. * Johnson's undeclared trip to Kyiv. 10/

It doesn't end there. Harborne got another Chequers invite. It was Aug 22 after Johnson had resigned but before he'd stepped down. Johnson had to step away to take a call with the 'Quad' - Biden, Macron & Scholz - to discuss Ukraine. Only one guest remained: Harborne. 9/

By the time of Farnborough Airshow, Harborne had become the single biggest individual investor in QinetiQ and controller of the voting rights. He'd also moved the entire holding to Delaware, a US jurisdiction that HMRC classifies as "opaque", ie beyond its reach or scrutiny 8/

There's exact parallels to Mandelson scandal, Susan Hawley of @spotlightcorruption.org told @thenerve.news. She also says: "If there is compelling evidence that insider information has been shared in this case, it is essential that there is a robust criminal investigation.” 7/

QinetiQ's share price jumped. In the hours, Harborne spent alone with Boris Johnson, did he mention the new defence programme to him? We don't know. It's why Susan Hawley of @spotlightcorruption.org says UK lobbying laws must change. 6/
