Farage & party funding

Only vaguely, nothing concrete.

Urm you’ve spelled his name wrongly in the thread title, surely it should be Corbyn?

??

Joke, urm joke.

Well give me a clue next time!! Put a cheeky grin in or something.
?

Aren’t jokes meant to be funny?

No Urmston I haven’t seen anything more about it, there either isn’t anything worth reporting on it or it’s taking a long time.

You read it on here, Ug. The Electoral Commission to be precise.

I haven't heard anything more, but I haven't heard that he's in the clear, either.

Well let me think - why on earth would MSM not widely report an investigation into the Great Leader. Nope. I’m stumped. Can anyone help?
.

Thanks MaizieD

But why no reports in say The Guardian maryeliza?

I just wondered about it all as haven’t heard anything about it.

Yes that’s right. They have visited his offices and now looking into it.

Okay thanks WW

How long until they report on their findings - do you know?

I don’t think they’ve said. I guess it depends if they find anything

It was in the Guardian and a big story over several nights on C4 news.

Thank you maryeliza I must’ve missed it. I’ve not been watching as much tv here in Malaga.

I read the link you posted and it says:

The agency usually takes two months to carry out an assessment, which will examine whether the case falls under its remit and if there is “sufficient suspicion of fraud, corruption or any illegal activity affecting the EU’s financial interests”.

So that’s from Olaf (the EU commission on a French acronym).

Seems the U.K. Electoral Commission is a separate investigation. No idea where that one is up to.

How can a private Start Up Company have members who are electable? And how can the Owner of said private Start Up Company stand for election in a GE????????????

Peterborough by election on 6 June will give you the answer (I hope!) jura2
?

They can’t jura they have to form a proper political party which Farage will hate as his narcissism can’t stand not being in total charge.

I’m waiting to see the manifesto

The BP is registered with the electoral commission. How it decides on its candidates must be up to itself within the relevant law and its own internal processes. So of course NF can stand at the GE as long as he’s not still an MEP.

Farage has promised a ‘full slate’ of policies once the European elections are over, telling a rally in West Yorkshire that they include ‘political reform, more help for the regions and the scrapping of ludicrous projects like HS2’.

I heard that the Met have been informed about a hole in their funding. Word is that they are looking into it but your guess is as good as mine as to whether there is anything to be found amiss.

Apparently he wants to abolish the House of Lords.

Yes I heard that mary and there was a couple of other things but I can’t remember what. He’ll be ok as long as he can be dictator.

I’m all for replacing the H of L with a second chamber as I think there are real issues with uni-cameral set ups.

He wants to scrap HS2. Gets my vote.
