‘Nothing to scoff at’: Farage's quiet £5 million gift unpacked
Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue addressed the controversy over Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage’s undisclosed gifts, noting that the £5 million donation represents a substantial portion of the party’s overall budget. “Just to put it into perspective … that £5 million gift donation that has caused all this furore is a significant chunk of Reform's budget,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Just a couple of years ago their running budget was under £5 million. “In comparison to the likes of the Labour Party and the conservative party, which are usually running into the tens of millions … it's nothing to scoff at.”

UK lawmakers to debate influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups
UK lawmakers to debate influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups UK lawmakers are set to debate the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups on British politics on Monday and consider calls for a public inquiry into the issue. The discussion follows a petition that has attracted more than 118,000 signatures, surpassing the threshold required for parliamentary consideration. Supporters of the petition argue that the role of pro-Israel organisations in UK politics should be examined in light of the government's response to the war in Gaza and rising settler violence in the occupied West Bank. The UK government had said in a statement issued in April that it does not support launching a public inquiry into the matter.
