Putting the portrait of a man convicted of rape and 34 counts of felony on the walls of a Justice Department is utterly foolish. This government is now wallowing in corruption with no limits or moral compass.

Who pays Reform's candidate?
What do they want for the money?
How is this in the interests of UK voters?
Why do our laws allow it?
