With a cravenly sycophantic media, it is exactly what was needed - so well done @zackpolanski.bsky.social for socking it back to Reform for once.

These people need to be exposed at every possible opportunity for the charlatans they are.

A fascist tapeworm & faux patriot who “loves giving interviews. But ask him about his connections to Russia & the consequences of #Brexit, he'll put a stop to the conversation.”

They do seem rather on the back foot with this one, don’t they?

Almost as if the scrutiny over a man who took bribes from Russia having ties to Reform is… making things a touch uncomfortable.

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

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 👍🏼🧵

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.

Let's get the headlines right. Dodgy #Tice was given £1,400 to stay in the French Riviera home of Russian Lubov Chernukhin, aka #Golubeva, renowned for donating over £2 million to Boris Johnson #Tory party.

Tice enjoyed accommodation valued at £1,000 and meals worth £400 between 4 and 6 August at the Chernukhins’ property on the Mediterranean coast, listing the purpose as “discussing gas power in the UK”, according to the register of MPs’ interests.

Farage has no morals, he's a lying wankstain on British politics, a soft as shite mouthpiece that likes counting the money, regardless where it has come from or who's lives have been destroyed in him getting it..

‘Wife of briber’… her timeline is full of anti-Ukrainian, anti-EU crap…
And, of course, there’s pro-Russian crap too.
She also seems to like the German Russophiles of the AfD…
Tells a lot about Farage… in the same bed?

Have a look at the now defunct Centre for Welsh Studies.

If they had a Left wing person on Question Time every single week like they have a Reform person, the polls in the UK would be completely different.

But of course they only put a Left wing person on once every blue moon to prevent this.

Phil Jones' body double @philsbodydouble.bsky.social · 1d

And so many people will believe that somehow the UK paying all that money for Net Zero and in benefits to foreigners is UNFAIR. When the data show it in fact couldn't be fairer.

And not doing so is - once again - normalised.

And we wonder why people vote for the people making these claims.

Here is a fun observation for you all. Exactly the same people who claim the UK shouldn't pay for that Net Zero bullshit because the UK is only responsible for 1% of global emissions, are the people who claim the UK shouldn't pay benefits to foreigners as 1 in 6 foreigners claim Universal Credit.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out
