Rupert Lowe's take on Nathan Gill 👀

"Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close... He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again."
"He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar"

s/s X-Twitter post from Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10
I have received A LOT of questions about Nathan Gill, having sat as a Brexit Party MEP alongside him in Brussels and Strasbourg. He was also the Reform leader in Wales. For those who don’t know, he has pleaded guilty to taking pro-Russian bribes over a number of months.

Obviously, I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close. He was the head of the delegation of our MEPs, so with the whip ran the day-to-day affairs of our grouping and organised activity in Brussels/Strasbourg. He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again.

He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar. There was one event, right at the beginning of our term, which he asked me and other MEPs to attend. Due to his position in the grouping, I agreed. It had a very pro-Russian slant, with individuals who claimed to be close to Putin there. For obvious reasons, I did not attend another such event.

I thought his obsession with that part of the world was strange, but given his years in the Parliament and position in the party, I didn’t think there was more to it. Other MEPs also found it unusual, but we just got on with job.

So to journalists asking, there is my response.

It is disgraceful behaviour, treasonous behaviour.

I am ashamed to have ever sat alongside him.

Boris strikes again ! When will he become accountable ?

oldpharmacist.bsky.social @oldpharmacist.bsky.social · 13d

He’s been a traitor for years . A lot of his erstwhile supporters were still in primary school when he first came to the fore .

Jane @localnotail.bsky.social · 13d

He's a traitor. Always has been. Always will be.

Nigel Farage showing his true colours in December 2016.
Putin is a "strong leader" and the EU is a threat to NATO and struggling failing empire that needs a hate figure (Putin).

It’s the bias towards Reform that I can’t stand . All these ship jumping pathetic specimens make my blood boil . Farage is my pet hate, has been for years under his various guises . Oh wait ,Trump has got to be the #1 scumbag ! Should be challenged at every turn but sadly given a free pass !
