Looks like Reform have made a very big mistake, so big that if they were to win the by-election the result might subsequently be overturned in an election court. And there are very serious repercussions for the candidate and election agent if that were to happen.

Ash Sarkar - Jim Radcliffe is a stinking hypocrite … He become a tax resident of Monaco. That’s £4 billion pounds that could have gone towards British schools, British NHS, British defence but instead he decided he wanted that money for his own pocket, 👏 #newsnight

A billionaire who moved his tax residence to Monaco during the pandemic so he didn't have to give his money to hospitals, schools, and public services? Spare me.
