Re: Reform UK's chronicles
MPS have visited Chagos before, but they went through the correct Foreign Office and MOD channels to get security clearance and permission, and flew in on an RAF aircraft.
They didn’t turn up on spec with a camera in hand, knowing they’d be turned away just so they could play the victim.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...
If you believe millionaires/corporates pay someone 11k per hour or provide a private jet for a publicity stunt, and don't expect anything in return, I've got a bridge you might want to buy (or some magic beans...)

Your non-objective analysis does you no credit. You quoted:
Quote:

|
The "... say or do as an MP ...." is understood to be applied to pecuniary matters where the MP benefits. Whilst I cannot deny the possibility of his activity being a political stunt, the political activity in which he engaged is valid and in the public interest.
Just because you don't like Farage ....

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
So why would someone hire him a private jet for a day trip to the Maldives?
What's in it for them?
Paying someone £11k an hour for four hours work a month would seem like a fairly large pecuniary advantage to most people, and because he is not yet in a position to "repay" the largesse, doesn't rule out the possibility of the favour being "banked".
Can you provide any reasoning why someone would pay anyone £11k per hour, and not expect anything in return?

Which paraphrased Farage when questioned about this sort of thing…

No "might" about it, otherwise he’ll be doing an Owen Paterson.
Anyhoo, back to my (oft repeated) question - what benefit is NF bringing to a company* that they are willing to pay him £11,000 per hour, every three months…
* a company, which, last year, had assets of £2.6 million, but this year has paid NF £226k (nearly 8% of their net assets)

Absolutely no idea. Maybe necessary to await anything Farage puts into the Register of Interests.

Not really, as he has already declared the earnings from Direct Bullion (on Companies House as DB LONDON LTD, with only one Officer).
Pretty sure if you found out Keir Starmer was getting paid £11k per hour to be a Brand Ambassador for a company working out of a Serviced Office/Coworking Space, you wouldn’t be so blasé…

Starmer's doing enough damage to the UK - and very openly.
The only thing you've got on Farage is to watch what he declares in the RoI.
