a man in a leather jacket is standing in front of a building with a sign that says opening . Alt: a smug man tapping head indicating that he's done some clever thinking.

I assume the UK is playing the long game. Keep it in the ground until it's a $1000 a barrel.

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

British crypto billionaire Ben Delo says he has given £4m to Reform UK Delo, pardoned by Trump after violating US banking law, describes himself as champion of free speech

Another altruistic crypto billionaire donates to Reform to help rebuild public services….
As if.

This is pure corruption.
Buying power and influence, in a bid to loosen regulation and make more money. For themselves.
They couldn’t give a shit about the country.

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Ok, let’s do this🙄

We’ll start with an explainer covering:

🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from

And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

This is an excellent, depressing, analysis. Trump accuses Democrats of treason, yet he is the one colluding with Russia, selling out allies, betraying NATO, and surrendering US interests to the diktats of a foreign nation. Trump is a deeply corrupt, compromised, craven Quisling.
