Appears the Devon Reform UK councillors that overspent on election expenses have been granted relief with them claiming ‘mistakes’ in their finances.
The first point is - would you want such careless councillors managing your council budget?

Trump being a literal dodgy watch salesman is not remotely surprising
These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

Couple moved in next door. Old bloke lived there before had a beautiful garden. He spent every day in it. New guy ripped out everything & put fake grass in. So I've planted trees next to the boundary that will fill his lawn with dead leaves in the autumn. This one's for you Alf
