We're looking for a coalition partner.
I think the smart move for Labour would be to start sitting down with Polanski because if he's got 18% of the vote, that's well worth having.
The polling suggests that if there were a UK general election this week,
Reform UK would win somewhere in the region of 300 plus seats.
That would put him in Downing Street.
Yeah, so this was a bit of a strange one, but there's big money behind this.
So cryptocurrency, this is a complete alien world to me, but Nigel Farage has moved into it very, very quickly.
So he was filmed making a video at the London offices of a company called blockchain.com, and he has invested a significant amount of money in this company called StackBTC.
Now, it effectively exists to accumulate digital currency.
And there was a video and Nigel Farage was making a Β£2 million purchase with this company.
Now, it's not his money, though he has invested, we're told, Β£215,000 sterling of his own cash in this company.
And I guess the idea is that as Bitcoin rises, shares in this company stack BTC will go up.
But as we've seen as well, Bitcoin can drop significantly as well.
So it's an unusual one.
And a lot of the political class feel that Nigel Farage should not be doing this.
And if his political career goes higher and he ends up, as he fully expects to, winning the next election in three years time, I think he will have to somehow get rid of this investment because there will be a clear conflict of interest.
Yes, that's exactly it.
And I think it's a clever move by the people behind this company.
They're effectively putting Nigel Farage as the face of cryptocurrency in the UK.
We know we've seen Trump do similar in America, launching meme coins or whatever they're called.
