No parliament is bound by a previous parliament,

But every government is bound by the previous one's implementation of the previous parliament.

Only a new act of parliament can free the following government of its commitmitment.

Good thread. The UK certainly did avoid many calls for further information / investigations into Russian interference before and after the heavily redacted Russia Report was published

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

I would reply, but Fiona Bruce told me I have no idea who that man is, so I've no need to be interested.

And if they weren't, what's the point of them?
If they did and reported to their governments, why did nothing get done?

I'm in no doubt about NF's finances. Still recall that farce about anonymous donations they were taking via the website that suddenly dried up when a grown up in charge told them they weren't actually allowed to do that so they were forced to stop.

This is an excellent thread, well worth reading all the way through.

TL:DR - The whole UK Government and media response to Russia Report stinks to high heaven.

The naïve amongst us (ie Me) naively expected MI5/6 to ride to the rescue to save us from Brexit - after other judicial *fails* on the legitimacy of the referendum etc.
Poor fools, eh?

So Gill has admitted being paid for his and we’re supposed to believe that ‘pro-grifter extraordinaire’ Farage did his for free??

Was Gill told to plead guilty to prevent further investigations into Russian bribes?

The evidence was always there - as I said, those speeches took place a year before Cameron even gave his promise to hold a referendum.

Very few were paying attention in 2014.

It is very likely Russian assets were planning from at least 2010 to manipulate the West after the global financial crash.

May in an interview on The One Show when asked about family said the Conservative Party was her family. I’ve always wondered if that was why she steered clear of instructing SIS to investigate Russian interference. (And why she went to court to defend the validity of referendum. Too close to family.

Hence, my comment on would/should be investigating.

Secret services do not need a crime to be committed to investigate.

They can conduct investigations based on suspicions of what might come next.
