"A Panic About Reform UK" | Donation Rules Under Review Amid Elon Musk Speculation

[@tonyfromchester1961]

Who sent 100 'volunteers' to work for the Kamala election campaign?

[@fredsmith5473]

That could be seen as attempt to undermine it, not that she needed any help. Nonetheless it was the wrong thing to do and showed a lack of judgement.

[@marianlonge3060]

Labour did

[@jab-gn3sw]

Liebour hypocrites as usual

[@mogznwaz]

That was just a jolly for presumably a select few. No doubt funded by taxpayers

[@Iazzaboyce]

Starmer was showing Kamala how to win an election - he forgot to mention he got 3 million less votes than Corbyn did in 2017.

[@davidmiller-bt6de]

Disband the EU and WEF that's the problem

[@TalorcMacAllan-q6g]

To much people in that corrupt organisations making money , we have to make sure we are away from them both when Labour are ousted.

[@donny121able]

He should donate today before they can block it.

[@rhysjaggar4677]

No he SHOULDN'T. This is not about you and your buddies, this is about the very bedrock of what sovereignty is about. It is NOT about an unaccountable foreigner who cannot be peremptorily summoned to answer for himself giving more money to one party than the entire amount spent by ALL parties in the last election. It has NOTHING to do with anything but a foreign oligarch buying UK democracy.

[@donny121able]

@rhysjaggar4677 lol

[@pheart2381]

This country is not even a sh/t-show anymore. It's a dysentry-show.

[@Peradabo]

With Musk behind the party, there is no stopping it. Vote REFORM UK. Save our motherland.

[@GeoFry3]

If they try to block him. All Elon has to do is ask his supporters to send a dollar each.

[@gregoryhouse5240]

more than 2 thirds of Labours donations came from Non-UK Born people... are Labour going to give back all that money or is it just Starmer being a fascist again?

[@nicksealey7004]

WTF is a once Great Britain doing,,,

[@AJ-ch6fu]

Funny, if they werent worried, they wouldnt care about a donation. How wonderful to watch them squirming.

[@Marstepolovsky]

Establishment: "Right, ban donations quick, we're losing!"

[@Hartinmouston5158]

Wonder if Blackrock donated to either Labour or Tories. May seriously consider donating to Reform if Tories and Labour start pulling this grift

[@Littlegreenman21]

Investigations needed!

[@lionelkirbyshire7683]

Wow, this government stinks.

[@islalewis70]

Elon grandmother was born in England, Liverpool !!

[@Foggy1871]

Calm down

[@ShyTalks-d8b]

Even if true, SO WHAT?

[@johnswift1736]

Means he is more british than Lord Ali

[@TerenceCousins]

Labour don't like it when its not going to them!

[@geezershoong9191]

They'll change the rules...

[@mogznwaz]

Has our spineless establishment lost the ability to say NO?

[@ImJustGoingToSay.....]

Keir changes the rules as he goes along, he thinks by doing this all he will be in power for years. The sooner he's out the better for everyone

[@chriskelly7834]

Ally gave starmer plenty of money what's good for the goose is good for the gander 😂

[@NeilHughes-ti6pz]

Starmer sent labour representatives to the states to help the Democrats. Dunce. Retaliation 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ShyTalks-d8b]

Did the Democrats give Starmer $100m for them?

[@NeilHughes-ti6pz]

@ShyTalks-d8b not the point. INTERFERENCE just The same .crybabies.

[@Fuzzyblossom]

Karmastarma!

[@suestewart-g4f]

How many labour donors now have jobs under the labour government ?? I doubt Elon needs a job.

[@springheeledjack9652]

Only our laws matter, bill of rights

[@Wasssssup-3]

Yeah, the hypocrites at it again 🙄 do as I say , not as I do , labour meddled in American politics 😮 now the tables have turned 🙄 not liking it are you ,guess what karma is coming for starmer and his goons .

[@Littlegreenman21]

America need to take Starmer and the Labour to court for their interference. Starmer interfered and accepted gifts and donations.

[@doggo7650]

Wonder if the Czech fellow has made a donation to Labour for taking over the Post Office?

[@bakednerd]

rules for thee, but not for me

[@mogznwaz]

If he wants a ‘family life’ then offer the whole family a one way ticket to Turkey to join him…….

[@one-lifetime]

We need to learn avoid telling people plans because they will just counter act as they do

[@brendamuirhead483]

Well if financial donations to reform are out of the question, could Elon just buy them all new clothes? Cos that seems to be fine with the prime minister apparently…

[@andrewbest-zr9qe]

If someone like obama or zucheburg or bessos was to donate to the labour party they would not change the rules

[@harkbelial]

This is the equivalent of taking the ball home when you're losing.

[@keeleyhutchinson8096]

Ridiculous, he should go bk yo is own country, this government should not be keeping criminals in this country locked up with our taxpayers money

[@davidnichols1413]

if the rules don’t work for Labour alter them easy , No worries ! 💕

[@AlexDavidson-pe8pt]

Thats what happens when you have politicians who where lawyers in their past live. Get rid

[@neilfinnigan9825]

Real readon why the child two cap came in in 00s we spotted that scam of multi wives !

[@Andy-gh9wy]

"LOAN" the money

[@eddie1330]

Remember the saying when in Rome do what the Romans do, it should be the same here in the UK. If you want to live here, abide by our rules, customs and culture.

[@malcolmhouston7932]

How about Unions withdrawing Financial support for any Political Party? None of them are your friends - let them earn their donations like many of your members do. Many of them would not support the Labour Party if they were not "blackmailed" one way or another into donating.

[@DGHodgson-o8z]

Do as i say, not as i do is this governments message to the people.

[@terryjacob8169]

Vijay Rangarajan ? I see we have a native Brit heading our Electoral Commission............ One who expresses his opinions in 'The Guardian'..........!!!! You couldn't make it up, could you.

[@katrinacarlton4805]

Get the money fast

[@gregs7490]

Sour grapes

[@richardwise1846]

All this will do is speed up musk's decision he will see it as more of a need to help britain and do it before any legal change

[@JackOfAllTrades-UK]

The writing is on the wall, a change in the party funding rules is coming. If Elon Musk is going to make a donation to Reform he needs to do it NOW. They will not make any rule change retrospective as that would impact on all party funds. Starmer will already be looking to rush this through...

[@GrantMC100]

How many multiples of £5m can be set up. Give £5m to 20 people. Let them all donate.

[@Fuzzyblossom]

Hope Elon gets a free pass to no10!!! Hypocrites in charge!!!

[@justlooking3572]

Reform could have four teabags to their name and they'll still win the next election.

[@kevlacy5306]

But its ok to give £50 million to terrorists in Syria?

[@peoplewatcher.365]

We can not have that.

[@SH-bl4ej]

A one-party state under Two-tier, the granny harmer.

[@Rob-hy8vb]

2 party system is finished

[@paulchambers6537]

Hope so.

[@DanB77]

Lord Ali donated and brought things for labour so whats difference

[@aled9056]

Given Starmer is cosying up to China……………Would you have an issue if Starmer accepted a multi million pound donation from the billionaire owner of TikTok?

[@doubleooh7337]

lord ali better be first on the list.

[@stephenchristian-k9s]

Shouldn't have been so free with information. Starmer isn't! Learn from the most in the country.

[@porkie8876]

Trying there best too stay in power when they know we want them ousted

[@kiljoy3254]

Perhaps Musk should funnel money through his ‘Open Society’ branch

[@Andy-gh9wy]

its simple take it a a loan there is no law taking a loan :)

[@mogznwaz]

If Elon is prevented from donating money (which technically speaking I would agree with as he’s a foreign national) then he can help in other ways……..

[@JamesJones-bb4bx]

What a silly statement...

[@paulchambers6537]

Nonsense

[@TootlinGeoff]

Huge donations by corporate entities or oligarchs is obscene and should be banned. Interference by foreign entities in our politics is even more unacceptable.

[@DoFeedThePigeons]

Because it’s called foreign interference

[@robert_bah]

The grifters arenout in full force..😂.. I believe Elon has some sort of intelligence, hut i do hope he give ls NFarage that 💰, so it could be royally spaffed up. There'll be a lot to go round😂 ... podcasters etc... rubbing hands... Sadly there'll be no mumber 10..but theyll give it a good go.

[@darkdan3379]

Defund muskrat...

[@ianrose56]

Defund you more like

[@paulchambers6537]

Why

[@tomsawyer4321]

Elon should get one of his investors to announce that they will donate 100 million dollars to labour. They will sharp stop any rules changes. Then donate to Reform and Elons mate pulls out........job done

[@kevinh4869]

If they change the then Elon can just pay for his own ads across the UK. Or he can "buy" something from Nick or another business and they can donate that money instead. Elon if you're reading this, I will sell you my pen for the whatever the maximum amount is that I can donate, and I will donate that to Reform ;)

[@mogznwaz]

If he wants a ‘family life’ then offer the whole family a one way ticket to Turkey to join him…….
