They’re feeling threatened now and the only play is to go for personal attacks and threats. If they were truly innocent and Gill was just an outlier then they would be doing whatever they needed to prove it. Their constant lies and refusal to answer questions shows their guilt. Keep it up!

I actually like this piecemeal erosion of their lies. I feel like a proper investigation into the “party” would allow them to spin the narrative that the establishment were out to get them for telling it like it is, whereas this way, people are regularly reminded that they are lying scum.

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Reform LTD need a thorough investigation

Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 14d

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

After seeing you on QT I thought the right wing media is going to be digging very deep to try and destroy you. Imagine if Angela Raynor had links to Russia it would take up the first 10 pages of the Mail, Farage not a mention.

Allegations of Russian links to Reform UK should trigger one simple response: a full public inquiry. If foreign powers are meddling in our democracy, it’s treason, not party politics.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I’ve seen people anxious about the demise of the Tories. But that could only be for the Tories of yesteryear. Not those of today Philp, Jenrick, Badenoch and their ilk. Whilst these people infest the Tories I’m glad they’re finished.

Decent Tories need to start anew if any left

He also promised prior to Brexit:

Post-Brexit farming subsidies would stay "100% guaranteed" - they aren't.

Assured tariff-free EU trade - reality is tariffs & checks.

Promised no weakening of standards - but concerns remain.

I would say he told a lot of untruths.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.
