In response to our reporter going undercover at #NigelFarage’s #Reform party rally we had this reply: "The "left" needs to admit that immigration is a problem. NOT immigrants themselves, but immigration. With the current lack of investment in public services then continuous immigration becomes a problem. With no "leftist" party stating that immigration is a problem then that leaves a vacuum for Farage and his party to thrive unchallenged in." What do you think about this take?

We revealed that a secretive company has been set up by an aristocratic convicted fraudster with close ties to #NigelFarage’s #Reform party, raising “real red flags” for #corruption experts. In response, a reader told us they think it's time to: "ban political parties formed as limited companies and limited liability entities. As far as I can see the vast majority of the electorate wants this." Do you agree, or do you think there is a justifiable reason for political parties to be companies?
