I wonder why no one seems to be making such a big deal about Starmer and others getting tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands from people, after all if it's bad that Farage was given money before he was an MP, then surely it must be even worse for an MP or PM to receive money from people??
Absolute hypocrites if you say it's different or it doesn't matter!

It’s completely different
We live in a capitalist society. People don’t routinely run around gifting £5m here or there to their mates for nothing in return.
If I’m repairing mobile phones on the side (I’m not) and not telling the taxman my customer gets a repaired phone. What’s Farage’s “customer” getting? Farage in their pocket for 5 years? Its certainly going to focus his more than the paltry sums an MP, and even the PM earn. Just look at poor Boris. Barely enough to live on for him.
