I should also have mentioned the US, and Trump 'National security strategy' - which explicitly talks about interfering in European elections (although tbf that is discussed in the video with Mark G.)
I have seen no official comments about the amount of Israel/Jewish money being used to bribe our politicians, who should of course be refusing it. When paying MPs was first mooted, one of the major aims was to make sure they could live on their salary and not spend time off theri job.This matters.
This ‘urgent’ independent review is certainly long overdue and since it will be ‘forward-thinking’ Labour’s past hesitations will probably be overlooked.
With no reference to reports that Lord Alli intervened to block a speech at Chatham House in 2023 when Angela Rayner together with Gordon Brown abandoned the announcement that Labour would ban foreign donations.
Let’s hope for genuine reform rather than selective optics
I'm surprised you don't broach the question of Israeli interference.
Fair point!

They are causing huge damage to the world, and their bribes seem to be a reason why our politicians lie down and let Israel tickle their tummies.
