Nathan Gill isn’t an outlier but a node in a sophisticated 🇷🇺 network blending ideology (anti-NATO/Soros) with cash, echoing Sass/Voloshyn’s ops.

UK’s wilful blindness per 2020 contrasts U.S. probes. With Senedd elections looming and 🇷🇺 cyber threats rising (MI5 warning) we need public inquiry.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

More than just a bad apple: why we must look closer at the Nathan Gill scandal

New evidence connects the Ukrainian politician who paid bribes to Gill - Reform UK’s former leader in Wales - to a campaign to destabilise the US election

We’re rarely in the area during the high season so didn’t have a problem with parking the other side of the ford. Had the place to ourselves. Nonsense I know but I felt the history. But the my family goes back 600 years in Newport and Nevern. I feel properly Welsh even though I’ve never lived there.

Why isn't this news getting more attention? An attack was being planned on the Prime Minister of a European country!

A suspected terrorist cell was dismantled by Belgium's federal prosecutor's office on Thursday, believed to have been planning an attack on Prime Minister Bart De Wever.

Suspected terror cell said to be planning attack on Belgian PM broken

Absolutely disgracefully biassed intro of #bbcqt (Questiontime) by Fiona Bruce: alone of all the panellists, she singled out a controversial policy of Zack Polanski / the Green Party for comment in her intro remarks. #BbcQT is systematically biassed in favour of the Right, and against the Greens.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.
