I think the commons
can be a place for people with a criminal conviction but it should be known by the voters and also spent. If you're breaking the law when you're an MP then you should be out obviously.

This is going to be a big problem for Labour but also the Tories:

This weekend, leading businessmen and Conservative Party officials believe there is a credible prospect that Musk is preparing to give $100 million (£78 million) to Farage as a “f you Starmer payment” with a view to transforming British politics.
Such a move could obliterate the Conservative Party as the main challenger to Labour before Kemi Badenoch, the new leader of the opposition, has made her mark.
It would also open the door to near-limitless anti-government advertisements from Reform.

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.
