I had a sudden attack of vertigo.
Turned out it was viral labyrinthitis which has left me deaf in one ear.

But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable….

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