BILLIONAIRE’S Bold £1 Million Gift Ignites Reform Party Hope

29 April 2025 — British tech billionaire Bassim Haidar just gave a huge £1 million boost to Nigel Farage’s REFORM party. Haidar called Farage the only leader who can “bring this country back to glory.” He used to support the Conservatives, but says they turned their backs on business and started pushing left-wing tax ideas.

Haidar slammed both the Conservative and Labour parties for hurting businesses with higher taxes. He’s especially angry about plans to scrap non-dom status and raise inheritance taxes. Haidar warned that if these changes go ahead, more wealthy people could leave Britain for good.

This donation shows how frustrated big donors are with old parties like the Conservatives. Haidar hinted that other rich supporters are thinking about switching sides too, which could shake up British politics in a big way.

Many voters feel let down by the Conservatives on key issues such as migration and the economy, making Reform’s message stronger than ever right now.

TRUMP’S Unwavering Support For Israel Cheered At GOP Convention

He emphasized Trump’s strong support for Israel and criticized Biden’s foreign policy failures. “Let me hear you cheer if you support Israel!” Brooks urged, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

PENN PRESIDENT Steps Down: Donor Pressure and Congressional Testimony Fallout Takes Its Toll

10 December 2023 — Under mounting pressure from donors and facing backlash over her congressional testimony, Liz Magill, the University of Pennsylvania’s president, has tendered her resignation.

During a U.S. House committee hearing on antisemitism in colleges, Magill was unable to confirm whether advocating for Jewish genocide would breach the school’s conduct policy.

Their journey kicked off on November 6th. Images showcasing their cowboy hats at JFK Airport and later at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv swiftly made rounds on various social media sites.

Waller highlighted that although much-needed assistance has been concentrated on areas severely affected during Hamas’s October 7 attacks, other regions in Israel face hardships too. He underscored the significance of extending a helping hand to these farmers whose livelihoods hang in balance.

Pro-Palestinian Protesters Wipe Out Images of Hamas Hostages: A SHOCKING Act of Erasure
