@vicderbyshire WHY WONT NEWSNIGHT FOLLOW THE MONEY??????? STARMER IS CHAOS. A disaster for Labour and the country and for world peace. Like Trump and Farage, he is governed 100% by Israeli interests. A tiny bullying racist and colonialist country is holding the planet to ransom through all powerful billionaire finance. Already most media and most politicians in UK & USA, like the BBC and the entire Labour cabinet, have been bought and are controlled by Israeli influence. Investigative reporting (primarily from Declassified UK) shows that pro-Israel lobby groups and individuals have donated to 13 out of 25 members of Starmer's initial cabinet (roughly half), totaling hundreds of thousands of pounds since MPs were first elected. Recipients include Starmer himself, deputy Angela Rayner, chancellor Rachel Reeves, foreign secretary David Lammy, home secretary Yvette Cooper, and others like Wes Streeting and Lisa Nandy. Key donor: Sir Trevor Chinn (British businessman, long-time pro-Israel activist linked to Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), BICOM, and the Jewish National Fund). He gave £50,000 to Starmer's 2020 Labour leadership campaign (declared late, after the vote). Chinn has also donated tens of thousands to other senior Labour figures (e.g., Reeves, Rayner, Streeting, Lammy, Nandy) and to Labour Together. In November 2024, Israel awarded him its highest civilian honour (Presidential Medal of Honour) for "dedication and love" for the state. LFI (a cross-party parliamentary group) has funded "fact-finding" trips to Israel for multiple Labour MPs/cabinet members and hosts events Starmer has addressed. Starmer has publicly praised LFI as an "invaluable source of energy and ideas" and, in 2021, repeated the phrase that Israel was founded by "social democrats who made the desert flower." He has also stated support for Zionism "without qualification." These are facts about influence via legal donations and networking — similar to how other lobbies (unions, arms industry, Gulf states, etc.) operate. Comparisons to Trump and Farage on Israel Donald Trump: Long record of strong pro-Israel actions (Abraham Accords, Jerusalem embassy move, Golan Heights recognition). Recent reporting (2026) shows Farage criticizing Starmer for not aligning closely enough with Trump/Israel on Iran strikes, with Farage calling the US-UK relationship strained under Starmer. Nigel Farage: Consistent public support for Israel. He denounced the 7 Oct 2023 Hamas attack, accused the left/Labour of "pandering to Hamas," condemned Starmer's recognition of Palestine (2025), and backed US/Israel positions on Iran (2026). He has explicitly criticized Starmer for insufficient support during Middle East crises. All three leaders have adopted pro-Israel stances, often framed around security alliances, counter-terrorism, and domestic politics. The "grip" of Israeli finance over U.S. politicians is real and influential in targeted ways. It operates through legal, transparent mechanisms: primarily U.S.-based donors, PACs, and super PACs affiliated with pro-Israel groups like AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). This is standard interest-group politics, similar to how the NRA, pharma, oil/gas, unions, or other foreign-aligned lobbies (Saudi, Qatar, China) operate. Here are the verifiable facts from Federal Election Commission data tracked by OpenSecrets (as of 2026):1. Scale of pro-Israel spending in U.S. elections •Direct PAC contributions (2023-2024 cycle): Pro-Israel PACs gave about $5.4 million total to candidates (~$2.6M to Democrats, ~$2.8M to Republicans). AIPAC's own PAC was the largest single entity at ~$3 million. opensecrets.orgTotal pro-Israel industry contributions: When including individuals and affiliated groups, it reached ~$78 million in the 2023-2024 cycle. AIPAC and its super PAC (United Democracy Project) spent ~$95 million overall on the 2024 elections (direct support + independent ads), backing 361 candidates. opensecrets.org +12025-2026 cycle (ongoing): AIPAC-related groups have already funneled tens of millions (e.g., $28 million reported to sitting members of Congress by early 2026). Super PAC spending in primaries can hit millions per race to boost pro-Israel moderates or defeat critics. readsludge.comKey donors: Largely U.S. citizens, including billionaires like Miriam Adelson (Israeli-American; gave $100M+ to Trump-aligned efforts and pro-Israel causes), Paul Singer, and Haim Saban. These are American donors exercising First Amendment rights, not direct transfers from the Israeli government (which is illegal for foreign nationals/governments to give to U.S. candidates). This money is highly targeted: used in primaries to support pro-Israel Democrats/Republicans and oust vocal critics (e.g., progressives critical of Israel's Gaza policies). AIPAC claims 95%+ win rates for its endorsed candidates in recent cycles. @AIPAC2. Lobbying (not campaign donations) •Pro-Israel groups spent ~$5 million on federal lobbying in 2024 (AIPAC alone ~$3.3M). This is for advocacy on aid, sanctions, etc. opensecrets.orgUnder the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Israel's cumulative foreign lobbying since 2016 is $215 million.
