Reform needs money to break the Labour–Tory stranglehold. I have no problem admitting that. But £72 million from two billionaires in 48 hours is something else entirely. I want politicians to live and die by the consequences of the decisions they make. And I want those exerting enormous influence... show more

Wasn't you @ Elon Musk, desperately trying to get him to financially back Advance.. You are one of the biggest hypocrites on this platform..

Sorry but why should Labour & the Conservatives receive huge donations from Trade Unions and from business. That’s at the expense of Reform who until recently have relied on membership fees to keep them going every year

Delo and Harbourne have more than enough wealth to see them through the rest of their lives, they do not need nor demand any favours from politicians however, wouldn't it be great if death taxes were repealed entirely so rich people would come to Britain to spend their money.

AlexHamilton6 days ago

Well said.

Paul C5 days ago

That's the exact question you should be demanding an answer from the Labour Party. Decades of shady donations from a party that professess to be the 'party of the people'. But when in power, not the party of the British people! Under Labour, it's anyone BUT the British people!

I don't believe for a minute that Harbourne has fallen for the climate change scam. So I wonder why he is pretending he has.

No doubt Elon Musk is a great man, but I fear he does not have a full grasp of British politics. Those who claim to care about this country need to ask themselves do I want to be a perpetual protestor or someone who wants to change the country by the next GE Reform UK

Thomas Sowell explains why he’s no friend to politics or politicians. His point is simple: politicians have incentives to tell people what they want to hear, while the consequences of their decisions are often paid by everyone else. Another reminder from Sowell to look past political promises and focus on incentives, consequences, and reality.

"Discipline is the ability to choose for yourself. But if you are free to choose for yourself, you are also free to experience the consequences of your choices. People love to be free to make their own choices, but when the consequences from their choices come, they want freedom from those consequences. It doesn't work like that. Discipline typically gets associated with punishment, compliance with rules, or obedience to authority. And I don't know about you but I don't wake up in the morning wanting to just be an obedient person to whatever an authority tells me to do. I don't wake up in the morning wanting to be compliant with a set of rules. I wake up and I want to produce things. I wake up and I want to be in control of myself. I want to make choices. I want to make decisions. I don't want to wake up and be a robot that just follows what everybody else says to do. If you're going to make choices, then discipline means you're more intentional about your choices and actions. You have a more clear purpose behind them. You have higher standards. You put in more effort. You're more in control of those choices. And you bring more skill to them. Discipline means to be in control and making the decisions on how all those things are happening for you."

Melanie Phillips thinks Jewish identity is "the unique fusion of a people, a faith and a land", which is why "the Jewish people, as *a* people, is entitled to live in its ancestral homeland." But British identity, she says, "is civic and not ethnic", and therefore has no comparable collective claim to possess the British Isles as their homeland. This double standard is unsustainable. "British" describes the distinct ethnic groups of the British Isles, whose lineage can be traced back thousands of years, and whose Christian faith shaped their nuclearised family units, small farm holdings, manners, morals, culture, and customs. They are a people, with a territory, faith, and distinct identity. And while Melanie says "the suggestion that Jews want to deny to the British the self-determination that the Jews have fulfilled in the State of Israel is false and disgraceful", she also thinks British people excluding anyone of foreign ancestry from being considered as British as they are is racist. It would be inconceivable for me to tell Melanie what being Jewish actually means, or that Jews shouldn't be alarmed if they were set to become demographic minorities in Israel. Melanie believes Jews are entitled to this in Israel, and that it guarantees their demographic security, but that the same consideration is not given to the British people in Britain. And I just won’t accept that. I don’t have to. It would be disadvantageous to my nation, and dishonourable to my children, if I did. If Israel is the only way to prevent Jews from becoming a persecuted minority in foreign lands, then I want the same for my own people, to prevent us from becoming a hated minority in our own country. That is a reasonable demand. If you expect me to support that for you but not for myself, at the expense of my children's future, then I won't take you seriously, no matter what names you call me.

“You're not entitled to get what you want. I love you. You're entitled to earn what you're willing to go work for. And that's true in our families, in our parenting, in our marriage, in our companies, in society. If we want it, go earn it. If that's positivity, have positivity. I think and I am a positive person. I am jacked. I am excited. Obviously, you can feel my energy through technology here, I hope. Frankly, think positive people just need to get a lot stronger. I really do. I mean, I don't want to call them weak because people hear that differently but it kind of is. Look, if you want that positivity to stick, you’ve got to get tougher. Not sacrifice your love and your care and your empathy, but you got to get tough. And then we have to figure out how to love the people who are cynical because I don't think there's a ton of bad people in the world and I don't think there's a ton of bad people on teams. But I do think there are people who've been burned out. I do think there are people who have been through things in their lives. They've been through things in their company. They're experiencing stuff somewhere else. For whatever reason, they just kind of got run down and cynical and negative, or whatever. Or they're just wired a little different than we are. And I don't to hate on those people. I want to win those people. They don't have to be like me. They don't have to have my energy. But I want those people on my team. I want to love those people. And if eventually they choose that they don't believe in the same things that I believe in, I want to make it really clear and obvious that they don't want to be on this team because we're not about that. You know what I'm saying? I want it to be very easy, obvious, that, ‘Hey I should not be on this team. Because this team is full of very positive people who have great energy and talk to people, not about them.’ And we solve problems. We don't complain. We don't get defensive. We're real. I recognize I'm imperfect and I'm vulnerable to show you that about me. I want to be on that kind of a team. And if there's somebody who doesn’t believe in that stuff, I want to make it really easy for them to say, ‘Look, I don't want to be on this team. I don't wanna live like you guys live. I don't want do what you guys do.’ And then I really hope that that person leaves us and goes and joins our competitor.”
