The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

I wrote this on Nathan Gill, Russian bribes, Reform and Farage nearly two weeks ago. Here it is again if you’re sick of the silence of the UK media

It's time we asked some serious questions about Reform and Russia, says Neil Mackay

As a former prominent leader of Reform faces jail for taking bribes to make pro-Russian statements, Neil Mackay says we have to ask serious…

I think it's always interesting to reframe stats to the cost of NOT doing the thing.

20's Plenty for Us @20splenty.bsky.social · 16h

In Wales, Cornwall, Edinburgh, London and so many places when most 30mph roads were changed to 20mph, people injured or killed by motor vehicles reduced by 20%+. With minimal change to journey times and £2bn saving in insurance costs it's a huge win. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Administrators can still go after directors if they have behaved improperly. But why does it take so long to get our money back from the wealthy? They’re pretty damn quick going after the poorest in our society.

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

If you attempt to make your brand, patriotism, taking bribes from our enemies doesn’t play well….

Nor does talking down our country at every opportunity, nor does wrecking our economy with Brexit, nor does regular TV appearances on Russia Today.

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.

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.

The silence is deafening as BBC studiously avoids reporting on @greenparty.org.uk swelling in popularity

Yet they did 3 reports today re Farage as they pursue their licence payer funded Reform PR campaign 😡

Screenshot of three reports done over the last five hours about by the BBC, who aren’t biased at all in favour of reform unless of course you think constantly amplifying their message and giving them airtime and PR for free is bias

Somebody please inform Donny that some things you don’t campaign for. You get them because you have integrity, decency, and compassion. Oddly not characteristics associated with arming a nation to commit genocide.

Maybe their men persuaded them that’s all bullshit. 🤔
