I saw a neat explanation of why importuning a foreign power to interfere in domestic politics crossed the threshold for treason on here last night. But I can't find it now! Help appreciated.

They don’t cross the threshold for treason. That’s action taken specifically against the monarch. You are looking at national security laws.

Nope. The UK Government, also known as His Majesty's Government, is the central executive authority of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is a parliamentary democracy where the elected British Government, the head of which is the Prime Minister, holds executive power.

Farage has been saying for years that laws passed by a UK parliament should be supreme and not subject to scrutiny by foreign parliaments or courts. Yet there he was yesterday in a foreign parliament saying foreign lawmakers should threaten the UK over a law passed by the UK parliament.

I've often thought Trump's US is a real threat to our sovereignty that the Brexit ultras barely acknowledge. Policies on everything from action against Israel to, most recently, cutting carbon emissions from shipping are being met with a threat of tariffs from Washington...

The irony here is that if Farage did live in North Korea, or Russia, and he had done what he just did in the US Congress i.e.encouraging a foreign govt to interfere in his country's policy, on his return he would have exited very quickly, probably via the nearest window 20 storeys up....

There are forms of interference that are more or less morally bankrupt. Personally, I don’t agree that Farage has gone as far as to meet the criteria for Treason. However, as a man whose entire political evolution stems from a cry of the sovereignty of English Law over foreign laws and pressures… 🤔🤯

If his only defence is that he didn't explicitly name the UK as a country that should be targeted for sanctions re. online free speech laws then I think they should still lock him up. Treachery and espionage is always subtle and his slimy escape tactics should not be available to him over this.

If he ever mentions free speech, he should be reminded that he banned Femi from Reform's gatherings, his Blackshirts physically assaulted Femi, and just yesterday he banned journalists from the New World from the NEC event. Hopefully the NEC will refuse to host Reform's future rallies
