@rob-the-scot.bsky.socialIt's not just Reform the Met should be investigating though is it ? It's the whole of Westminster but they all get away with it because its covered up and offshore accounts are used + the Cayman island etc. Then you have terms used like "unincorporated associations" to get round the #Darkmoney
@ajbezos.bsky.social23. Ben Delo gave Reform UK £4m, helped fund the Free Speech Union, and underwrites the Westminster hub where Aporia books rooms and Orr's Scrutonians keep an office. One donor, one ecosystem. #ReformUK #DarkMoney
@ajbezos.bsky.social14. It began in 2016, when Thiel Capital's Charles Vaughan told Cambridge conservatives to recruit, network and build media clout. Ten years on, Reform UK drafts policy out of that seedbed. #ReformUK #DarkMoney
@ajbezos.bsky.social13. Peter Thiel routed a secret five-figure gift to Cambridge through James Orr as Orr was hired, then delivered four private lectures Orr hosted. The university calls this philanthropy. It looks like a leasehold. #DarkMoney
@scotlandscomrade.bsky.socialAhh yes, The #DarkMoney given to the DUP via Theresa May & swirled into East Ren Tories via Richard Cook who was Vice Chair of Scottish Conservatives back in 2012-16.
@atmywitsend.wsocial.euAnother £4m flows into Reform UK from pardoned crypto tycoon Ben Delo. When Farage was sworn back in as MP claiming "yet another standards investigation" was breathing down his neck, this tangled web of crypto cash was likely what kept him up at night. 🧵
