In today’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn are joined by Reform UK treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick in the wake of Nigel Farage’s decision to stand down as the MP for Clacton,
That the others refuse to stand illustrates how democracy is in trouble. Makerfield didn't need to happen. A general election really does considering the current issues. Funny how they like the by elections they can win.
The Labour Party received around £700,000 from Lord Alli. Starmer received gifts from him valued around £70,000 and £100,000 towards his 2024 election campaign.
Lord Alli, without any official govt role, received a security pass allowing “unrestricted” entry to No. 10. Reports also suggest he exerted significant influence over the selection of Labour parliamentary candidates.
Rachel Reeves Labour MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer failed to declare transfers and cash donations of £30,000 from Alison Wedgwood (Oct 2025), £15,000+ from others like David Sainsbury, and larger sums from figures such as Sir Victor Blank (£175,000 reported in some coverage).
Also “in kind support” from lord Ali £7,500 from donors like Lord Alli), event costs, and more. One source notes ~25 donations declared by Sept 2024, with ~£163k cash and ~£183k in-kind.
All this was final declared mid this year.
She was never investigated by UK’s Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
MSM didn’t care about Stammer, an acting PM, and his Lord Ali buying access to No10. The sleaze that is being hidden from us in Westminster and they’ve got the nerve to create a big deal about donations that enabled a party to challenge the status quo. Without donations no party would be viable. It’s a witch hunt because they’re running scared that the political classes are losing control.
The Daily T being unsupportive to a Right Wing party, they’re all gonna be working for the Guardian and be told what to write and report on if Labour have their way.
Why does Tim think Farage should be focussing on asking Burnham difficult questions during the summer months? Burnham will have banned the asking of questions, or deflect them completely during PMQ.
Starmer refused to be even judged by Parliamentary standards over his Mandelson fiasco, bypassing the vetting process and misleading Parliament - he put a 3 line whip on his MPs to save him from due process. Turns out Starmer has had his fair share of freebies that did not get declared
Labour were the ones who tried to cancel council elections 2 years in a row, disenfranchising millions of voters. Now they think it is fine to lecture us about democracy.
