About fu*king time in the UK.

This needs to happen. Any oligarch prepared to donate millons and millions of dollars to any political party in a foreign nation is NOT doing so out of the kindness of their heart!

@rhiannonstudios March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Labour running scaredâ€Ļ..

@thato596 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Yes they should ban partys from getting donations. Because we know that donations money is actually bribe money

I don't trust politicians to ban lobbying

@77DeathGod March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

What if Elon donates thru a rich Briton who claims the donation is from him but actually funded by Elon? Why not ban all donations or cap the amount anyone Briton can donate to a small amount?

@ivorharden March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Oh so it was okay for Labour to receive actual various donations, but when its rumoured Elon will donate 100m to Reform, thats bad.

❤❤❤Since becoming Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer has nationalized railways, enhanced workers' rights, established Great British Energy, abolished NHS England to reduce bureaucracy, and improved EU relations.

❤❤❤

@michaelmoss7511 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

The country is doing everything they can to stop reform winning the next election 😂

@ElliottSpencer-hn9qg March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

And the public think that this will actually stop?.

@user-gr5tr3we9d March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

I bet he wouldn't want to ban it if elon musk was willing to donate to him though 😂😂😂🤡

@HzHz March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Ali?.

@danielpodmore7475 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Stop all donations, they can always be manipulated

@Davywatson121 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Does that include Trump and Melania Bit Coins? The easiest way currently to donate anonymously to Trump is to buy his or his wife's "Dodgy-Coins". ❤🎉

Money should be out of politics, it is literally corruption! People should have the most influence on politicians, NOT the oligarchs.

@pokemonjt March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

What?!, how will Israel support thier people?!!!

@philipmunday1590 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

It won't be Musk donating before next GE…. he'll be bankrupt. Although at nother twunt will be waiting in the wings to fill that gap.

@wildandbarefoot March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Ban millionaire donations or end up a Plutocracy

@harrywaters7718 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

So it was ok when Labour pulled in ÂŖ60m compared to Reform’s ÂŖ3m???? UNBELIEVABLE HYPOCRISY

@vanillagorrilla March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Anyone in politics should receive no wages except expenses

@vanillagorrilla March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Looks like a shady rush job to protect keir from being rightly removed

@timcro1966 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

This makes way for a dictatorship by party in charge. Very dangerous situation. Monies donated are spent on marketing and propaganda media. Choose your poison.

@UltraPerception March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Good idea

@DavidBennell March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Just stop all political donations and have public-funded parties for those that can show significant enough support

@RammingSpeed-lk8kk March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

So,,,,starmer all9ws milli9ns 9f m8grants 8n andbgives the billi9ns ofbtax money..

But now he has a problem with "foreigners" when it doesnt suit him politically?

@Le-d9s8b March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

About time

@jeffwagar1065 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

People, not companies should be the only ones donating to political parties and donations should be limited to a reasonable amount. Nobody should be able to "buy" an election.

@iljc1996 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Whatever keeps musk away from UK politics

@Bert-hy5ek March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

A corrupt, lying PM wants to bring political donations to the top of his agenda. The timing is a giveaway. Starmer is the most unpopular PM in decades and The Reform Party is more popular than Labour.

@SeemoreDunkan March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Ban, and F Nigel

@berserkirclaws107 March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Can be bothered to dress up professionally to appear on TV for the country?
Enjoy your gym session 👍
I'm not too uptight about dress code but a guy can arrive on set and present in a tracksuit and trainers so wtf🤷‍♂ī¸

@leonlishenga March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Woke media.

@Dude-zz9om March 22, 2025 - 5:59 pm

Oh ja.. dus ze sluiten de backdoor achter zich dicht.
