America was meant to be Britain’s route to the sunlit uplands of Brexit. Then, after hopes of a free trade deal evaporated, successive Conservative governments have set their sights lower, by trying to forge closer ties with individual US states.

Now the civil servants responsible for delivering those state-level deals have been let go, in what a furious British businessman described as “an act of arson”.

 

More than one-sixth of trade posts within British consulates in the US have been axed, with 24 people losing their jobs and other vacancies left unfilled, out of 150 posts. The decision was taken barely two weeks before Rishi Sunak called the general election.

Many of the trade teams, based in the nine consulates across the US, had worked on trade pacts with Kemi Badenoch, the business and trade secretary, jetting around America to sign memorandums of understanding with governors of states including Florida, Indiana and Oklahoma.

 

But more importantly, according to British business leaders in the US, the regional trade directors and their staff had decades of experience and had built up contacts with American businesses from Google and Meta to the heads of Hollywood studios.

Jules Ehrhardt, a designer and investor, said there was “outrage and disbelief in the British business community” at the decision.

right wingers trying to hide the fact that racists will be a part of a party built on racism

 

OR 

 

Fact: Channel 4 paid for the footage from a company called 'Lee Sorrell Media' 

Fact: Channel 4 denies this. 

Fact: Channel 4 has previously used the same company to obtain disturbingly similar footage in the 2019 election campaign period, targeting the then Brexit Party. 

 

So maybe it's exactly what it appears to be, a smear campaign, using paid actors, by left wing media outlet

Two weeks before he called the election! It's difficult to see this as anything other than an attempt to sabotage Labour's chances of boosting the economy.

I agree. Putting the Tory Party before the good of the country. That's one thing wrong with our overly adversarial political system.

FACT: about Lee Sorrell Media, https://leesorrellmedia.com/about-us/

FACT: of course C4 are going to deny it, if its true or false

FACT: you mean this? https://www.leesorrellmedia.com/brexit-party-undercover/

 

not sure where you get the last bit from from these "facts", seems to me its exactly how it seems, undercover investigative journalism from a company that themselves say thats what they do, and for the TV company involved. 

As for it happening twice, youre not telling me the "almost same" party havent been stupid enough to get stung twice by the same company?

[melthebell]

why if the racist abuse undercover investigation was set up by using an actor would Reform UK actually get rid of 3 candidates for the exact same thing?

Is mainstream media attempting to subvert the democratic process? 
Accusations surrounding an expose' aired by Channel4 news has itself been exposed as an attempt to 'assasinate' ReformUK
Claims that Andrew Parker, an actor, one who's resume states "undercover recording" style & used a created character to make racism remarks whilst coincedently being recorded by an undercover reporter.

 

Even if we assume that Parker is a paid stooge, which I don't believe for a minute, are folks suggesting that George Jones, a veteran of UKIP and the Brexit Party, now running events for Mr Farage’s campaign; Rob Bates, a senior Reform UK campaigner; and Roger Gravett, Reform UK’s regional manager for London and candidate for Tottenham, were also in on the deception as well?

I know someone with a bridge up for sale if you believe that.

Nigel Farage to boycott BBC over ‘biased’ Question Time audience | General election 2024 | The Guardian

 

Great, get back in your bin Nige with the rest of the trash.

 

He's just the most entitled and boorish cretin isn't he. 

The BBC brow beaten from years of attacks by Tory trash, then it's upper echelons is stuffed full of right wingers, still finds itself out of favour with frog face - whining that some of the public in a BBC audience aren't genuflecting before him. 

He's the person on QT who's been on the most, yet that's not good enough.

Notice that he boycotts the BBC as the GE is almost up....the shytalk.

Well **** off you poisonous old toad, and don't let the door hit your arse on your way out.
