Things "not adding up" seems to be a common theme in the explanation of these stories coming out. Rayner, Reeves, Haigh.
Probably best for any Labour MP to stay on the backbenches, in order to avoid too much scrutiny.

This is going to be a big problem for Labour but also the Tories: https://archive.ph/5JaoM



Elon Musk has more than enough money to completely dominate UK politics which usually doesn't spend anywhere near the levels they're used to in the US. It'll be pocket money for him. It will completely dwarf all the other parties where a couple of million is the typical 'massive' donation. Reform would be Man City to Labour/Tories Norwich city.

Just shows how dangerous Musk is. No one show have that much wealth with all the power & entitlement that comes with it. You can seen how he helped buy the US presidency for Trump.

We should have a law that donations to UK political parties (over a certain amount) can only come from UK citizens.

Unlike Haigh, I believe Chris's phone has genuinely been stolen. :D

Ah right. Well that’s not the done thing is it? The Tories set the standard. Apologise, step down from the cabinet for a few months (but not as an MP) then pop back up when it all blows over. Them’s the rules now!
