Delo’s return is great news for Reform UK.

Under the incompetent, tax-hungry Labour party government, scores of wealthy people have chosen to leave Britain.

But one billionaire is making the inverse journey, in a bid to save his Kingdom.

He is returning to be able to donate millions to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, after accusing Labour of ‘trying to rig the next general election’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Ben Delo, who lives in Hong Kong, gave £4m to Reform earlier this year before the Government changed the law to put a £100,000 cap on donations from Britons living abroad.

Mr. Delo has accused Sir Keir Starmer of using legislation specifically to target big-money expat Reform donors “to stack the political deck against the most popular opposition party”.

Writing for The Telegraph, the 42-year-old says he is moving to the UK so he can donate millions more to Reform and ‘build a war chest’ for Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, to fight the next election.”

Delo is Britain’s youngest self-made billionaire, the co-founder of BitMEX, a cryptocurrency trading platform.

“Mr. Delo believes Sir Keir changed the law on donations to target Christopher Harborne, the billionaire who has donated £12m to Reform from his home in Thailand.”

Starmer is afraid expat donors can give Farage an unbeatable war chest.

Daily Mail reported:

“With Reform relying on big donations, Mr Delo said he hoped to inspire other rich expats to move back to defy Sir Keir’s ‘tinpot’ attempt to fix the next election.

The co-founder of cryptocurrency trading platform Bitmex said: ‘For Labour, sitting on its cushion of trade union funding, the idea that someone might create a level playing field by giving Reform as much money to spend as other parties is intolerable.’

[…] [Farage] said: ‘It is particularly gratifying to me personally, that someone like Ben – a builder, visionary and problem-solver, who has spent a lifetime grasping trends before other people do, sees the potential of Reform.’

Oxford graduate Mr. Delo, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at 11, said the ‘chronically dishonest’ culture of government makes it difficult for people with autism spectrum disorders to understand what politicians really mean.”

The US and Russia are rebuilding ties.

On the one hand, the US supports Ukraine against Russia in their 4-year war, while Russia supports Iran against the US in their recent military confrontation.

But on the other hand, the United States and the Russian Federation have been engaged in a difficult but potentially rewarding détente.

Reuters reported:

“A delegation of Russian lawmakers has arrived in the United States for meetings with U.S. lawmakers, Russian media said, on the ​first such trip since relations between the world’s two biggest ‌nuclear powers hit rock bottom over the war in Ukraine.”

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US-Russian relations deteriorated to the worst level in history, but after the return of Donald J. Trump, the ties have improved considerably.

“The ⁠lawmakers’ visit to the United States, first reported by Russia’s Vedomosti ​newspaper, includes Vyacheslav Nikonov, a lawmaker who is the grandson of Josef ​Stalin’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, according to Russian media reports.”

The Russian lawmakers met US lawmakers today and are expected to meet US officials tomorrow.

“The visit is ‘part of ​the normalization of relations with the United States of America’, Alexei Chepa, first deputy ‌chairman ⁠of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, told Izvestia.”

WATCH: Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso Exposes Democrat Caught on Tape Saying, ‘The People We Care Most About Are the Undocumented’

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso delivered a blistering floor speech Tuesday, exposing the Democrat Party’s priorities during the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

While roughly 50,000 TSA agents are required to work without pay, causing massive airport delays and forcing hundreds to quit, Democrats are laser-focused on protecting illegal aliens.

Barrasso played a clip of Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy admitting on live television, “The people we care most about… are the undocumented.” He explained that the Democrat strategy for over 30 years has been to make undocumented immigrants citizens.

Barrasso stated plainly, “This is a Democrat… ‘the people we care most about,’ he says, ‘are the undocumented.’”

“Not these people who are working every day,” Barrasso said of American TSA agents.

Murphy made the comment during a 2024 MSNBC interview discussing immigration policy.

Murphy said the Democratic approach “has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented ‘Americans’ that are in this country.”

Barrasso summed it up by saying, “The American people are wondering today… why the Democrat Party continues to stand up for illegal immigrant criminals against law-abiding citizens.” He warned that Democrats are willing to “make people hurt” to protect their open-border agenda.

WATCH:

The resurfaced admission has gone viral as the DHS shutdown drags into its sixth week.

WATCH:

The partial DHS shutdown began in February after Democrats blocked full funding for the department unless it included restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, such as limits on the use of masks by agents or on warrantless arrests.

Republicans have repeatedly offered clean funding bills and targeted measures to reopen TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and other critical functions, but Democrats have voted them down.

As a result, TSA officers, who are deemed essential workers, have missed multiple paychecks for the third time in six months.

DHS reports that more than 450 TSA officers have already quit since the shutdown started.

Absenteeism has skyrocketed, with over 11 percent of agents calling out on some days and rates approaching 30-50 percent at major hubs like Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans.

Travelers have been facing hours-long security lines during peak spring break travel.

Philly DA Larry Krasner Threatens to Handcuff and Jail ICE Agents Working at Philadelphia Airport: ‘The President Cannot Pardon You!’ (VIDEO)

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner threatened to arrest and prosecute federal ICE agents working at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday.

Krasner held a press conference at the airport as ICE agents arrived to assist overwhelmed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers.

The deployment was ordered by President Trump to help ease long security lines and flight delays caused by severe staffing shortages at TSA checkpoints.

The partial government shutdown, caused by Democrats refusing to budge on DHS funding, is now in its 39th day. It has left TSA officers working without pay, and reports of 3,200 agents not showing up for their shifts on Monday alone, and another 458 who recently quit.

During his remarks, Krasner told reporters and the agents on site that he expects them to uphold the law while operating in Philadelphia.

“This is how it works — you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you,” Krasner said. “That is how it works. No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying ‘Let em go.’ No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again, the president cannot pardon you.”

Krasner escalated by bringing up the chaos caused by leftist agitators in Minneapolis, which resulted in two of them being killed during confrontations with agents.

“And yes, I will put you in handcuffs, and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this floor anything like you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed, innocent people.”

WATCH:

Krasner doubled down in a video posted to X, stating: “To anyone who is an ICE agent, thank you for upholding the law and the Constitution of the United States. But if you don’t, you’re gonna find out.”

WATCH:

The ICE assistance at Philadelphia International Airport, part of a nationwide effort at 14 major hubs, has already been credited with reducing wait times, with some travelers describing the unmasked agents as professional, friendly, and helpful.

President Trump had specifically directed the agents not to wear masks while assisting TSA in order to speed up processing.
