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.

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.

It is the Trojan horse, designed to draw attention away from the fact that the main news stations have been infiltrated.

Combine that we low British productivity and a drop off in migration, and you can see that Reform will lead to some sort of stagflation.

Then you consider the flagship policy, leaving the protection of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Reform is already spoiling for a fight with Bxl👇

It knows Brexit is a failure and wants to turn it into a Great Patriotic War again against the evil EUSSR.

The election of far-right governments is well-arrested to cause drops in investment.

Entirely unsurprising that the Holiday Villa 'Ndrangheta have found politcal allies at last in the shape of Reform UK.

Reform really do hypocrisy very well.

@chrisgrey.bsky.social 's latest post is about Reform and immigration, Labour's (perhaps) getting off the sofa to deal with that, and the ECHR.

I would like to talk about the overlap point.

Farage's statement that removing permament leave to remain won't apply to European citizens is empty.

Investigations into Russian intelligence by UK SIS never took place - because the government of the time never instructed them to do so.

I do hope the current government does not make the same error.

The Lead Untangles: The Reform leader’s Russian influence scandal

Not unreported, but certainly not given much spotlight, what do the Russian bribes taken by a former Reform UK leader tell us?

The good news is that MI5 will be all over Deform UK's books now looking for other transactions that could make Fartrage's mystery £800k house deal look like finding a pound coin in an abandoned shopping trolley.

John Profumo brought down a government because of idiotic actions.

What we have now is someone deliberately acting for Russia, pleading guilty to it.

The media fears he is fuse.

One that could blow them all up (especially Davey & Gibb at the BBC).

The reason is that it risks bringing down the entire house of cards.

It has the potential to make Watergate look quaint - to actually set fire to the media.

It would tie up government for years, require multiple court cases & inquiries.

Aside from Gill & Farage, why was RT shut down?

Because it clearly pushed Russian propaganda, conspired against the UK.

Many (Tory & Brexit) politicians are on record minimising Russian actions in Ukraine.

The media IS minimising the Gill story.

Why DID the @guardian sell off the @observer, the paper that backed & published Cadwalladr?

And to Tortoise media? Almost like they wanted to hobble it.

No doubt a lot of my musings will be dismissed as conspiracy theory, but here is the thing.

We KNOW there was conspiracy
