Dyson did have an idea once. Today, he uses his reputation as an inventor to sell inferior products at inflated prices. That's not innovation, that's marketing & he has created a brand name but no business can survive long-term on fame alone. And with diminishing quality, there goes your reputation.

Important detail of Reform - from Emma Monk - brilliant. It should be all we need to know to dismiss them
So to recap:
🟣Farage made Gill Welsh UKIP leader
🟣Gill left UKIP 2 days after Farage and has admitted to his first count of Russian bribery THE SAME DAY
💎Gill joined Brexit party and re-elected to Brexit Party during the bribes period
💎Gill made Welsh Reform UK leader
