Channel 4 sting targets James Orr over Reform UK funding
The Channel 4 expose on Reform is telly ecstasy. Prestige TV is great but can it beat watching Nigel Farage, James Orr and James Johnson getting stitched up for blatant corruption? No it cannot
Jon Wensley29Fantastic work from Ch 4 News . Farage and Reform must be shitting themselves tonight .
Paul25They weren’t “stitched up “, they were exposed and found out to be criminals.
timfulfordnews21Getting James Orr is gold icing on diamond cake
stefaniabarutta.bsky.social21I hope it comes to something concrete (Farage behind bars), because honestly the Tories got away with money from Russia which we are at war with and got away with it scot free.
Stuart Hemingway16Play it on repeat at the conference in Birmingham and let those cheering him realise he is nothing more than a slimy old fool who will do anything for money.
Illuminatus13I wonder if Orr’s resignation will be demanded at a certain university of our acquaintance? I’d imagine this is very clearly bringing its reputation into disrepute
The legwork, and the sting, which seems to have caught out James Orr, Nigel Farage and Reform-UK was carried out by Verbatim Investigations who have dropped their own take on the story.
My name is Rich.3All well and good but their intrusive website can fuck the fucking fuck off:
Mike1Hopefully someone senior will be pictured being "perp-walked" by the Met. My schadenfreude meter may melt down.
Kevin Thurston1Verbatim are the reincarnation of Panorama. BBC shamed.
Steve Peers56The polling company JL Partners is unwilling to follow the rules, so should not be in the polling council. Also the Telegraph appears to have lied about the provenance of the poll it published. Even if they didn't know that Reform commissioned it, it was dishonest to suggest it was a Telegraph poll.
Malcolm LibDem🔶🏴🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦2Some very naughty people revealed here - and they won't answer the questions! Why?
Farage’s ludicrous minions selling what’s left of their souls for coins, while either not knowing or caring that their boss secretly trousered five million for his ‘personal use’. He makes absolute twats of everyone who trusts him. And this James Orr character is supposed to be some sort of genius…
Stuart Hemingway110A full video is available by the investigative team who exposed the scandal may be worth your time watching it… www.verbatiminvestigations.com/full-investi...
Mykeprime22Binface ain't getting any time off is he?
bexhc73.bsky.social12James Orr seems to be akin to a cult leader, the @bylinetimes.bsky.social have done excellent work on his dodgy activities in Cambridge.
jsewtz.bsky.social12Don't worry their "top media" presenter will clarify things for us. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Robert Wilson9How many fucking Clacton by-elections will it take?
Benjamin Thomas8I think equally concerning is that this crook is lecturing young minds at a so called elite university.
Re the Channel 4 investigation: We said James Orr was up to something... @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/07/09/p...
Liz Aspden4Yes, I first heard James Orr was up to something via @bylinetimes.bsky.social I would like a word with Orr.
General Iroh needs a long long walk2Ah, that's how I remember the name Orr... I kept thinking as I watched the documentary why the name/profile sounded familiar - it was your piece!
Nick Gerrard2@bylinetimes.bsky.social has been all over Orr for months. This should be the final nail.
Stuart Hemingway1The bloke is even worse than his boss… bsky.app/profile/henr...
The full report is utterly damning. Farage's policy chief James Orr boasts that they can "easily get away with it" because the Electoral Commission are so "dumb and ineffective" youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI?...
Steven Fielding39I wonder if Orr’s college or the University of Cambridge would like to comment on his role here?
Cam all one word 🇵🇸14Uh oh, strongly worded letter from the Electoral Commission incoming. They might even think about considering taking action
John Roberts9The statement from the Electoral Commission to C4 doesn't do much to disprove that claim.
lizziec.bsky.social7James Orr, who has until now managed to fly under the radar was particularly “unguarded”. Hubris is my favourite word.
Phil Leighton7It’s an organised crime gang
Tony5Nigel Fraud, you have been caught, big time! #NigelFraud
Simon Parker10I'm sure this story about a Cambridge academic behaving very badly will be on the front pages of every major newspaper tomorrow since they monstered Prof. Jason Arday over allegations that pale into insignificance in comparison.
Jussie Northside5I mean, it hurts to say it but Orr’s not wrong about the Electoral Commission
Alisdair Calder McGregor4If this doesn't end up with Jail sentences then our democracy is dead. This cannot be allowed to go without consequences.
Public Benjamin4*both proceed to easily get away with it as stated*
children of the corncob4i mean they're not wrong. the electoral commission *are* dumb and ineffective and maybe we should fix that? idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Shyamali Rodrigues 🔶️3I've just watched the whole report. I hope all the people who need to see it do and act accordingly.
Tony2Let's get this hashtag trending! #NigelFraud
Turns out, this was the lesser story about James Orr today.
Totally missed the bit about the Reform guy James Orr being an associate professor at CAMBRIDGE, caught it on the rewatch Had a check of his Twitter and frankly I don’t have the energy for the discourse on this one AUDACITY! ™️
Elron Hubbard5There is more in this link. Cambridge needs to get to grips with this. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...
Fed Up Toby4If you’ve not seen it, Byline Times has been investigating Orr/Cambridge’s link to Palantir.
Sue Reeve4Bet the press won't be hounding him incessantly... BTW, with remarkable timing, the FT profiled #JanesOrr today. I reposted article again, fairly recently. #Farage
md700a.bsky.social1He’s probably the one who put Nathan Cofnas onto the trail in the first place
Nie mój cyrk, nie moje Musk-y1Orr is right at the heart of the extreme-right web of politicians, journalists and academics that have led to the rise of bigotry in the UK
In the past 24 hours - Zia Yusuf racist tweet - Nathan Gill to repay Russian bribes - James Orr, Nigel Farage soliciting illegal donations Have I missed anything?
Dr Jo Kershaw20Also, James Orr in the FT more or less outright saying he wanted Britain to be invaded and our current way of life and forms of government destroyed.
Chris Addison9Well, I mean, the Reformers are literally meeting for conference right now. There’s no way we can know the entire list of Horst Wessel Song Contests and Get Eyeholes Cut In Your Cotton Hood For Free! stalls.
Misterpatrick1Bartoromo is leaving Fox News. I’m assuming to join the administration.
TensegrityFan🐝🍯1- ‘Double Dame’ Andrea just being herself bsky.app/profile/tens...
Prof Rob Dover1It's quite a week. And not over yet.
Ch 4 News asked Nigel Farage, his chief of staff Dan Jukes and Head of Policy James Orr for a response - they didn’t comment. Ch 4 News ‘understands the allegations are denied in full’
incrediblekoosh.bsky.social14Denied in full. When there's a video. Of the things happening.
Sanderella5Are you covering it on Newsnight?
Lacks the Necessary Aptitude.4They are on fvcking camera admitting to it for fucks sake.
Jean-Luc Picard4Why is this nowhere to be seen on the BBC? Not so much as a mention on the app. Nothing on BBC News. Had it been Starmer it would have been on every single BBC news outlet within minutes. Anyone would start to think there was a conspiracy afoot...
Marty1981 (uk)3Are they saying it was AI lol
Obsidian1“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
If you’d like to know more about James Orr, here’s this week’s @ftweekend Magazine cover story as.ft.com/r/2ba39ce2-9...
