Great scoop by Byline. Farage was paid by Trump crypt adviser who worked with Russia operative Paul Manafort.
He received payment from David Bailey, who collaborated with the convicted fraudster behind the Trump-Russia influence scandal.
This should be all over the media.

Yes, we do need to see this but by God it stinks that the party that made Johnson (who partied with Russians with an envelope stuffed full of God knows what, then ennobled the son of a KGB spy, took backhanders & loans and gave govt. contracts to mates throughout his premiership) their leader.

Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse.
At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism.

The man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard.
