Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Honestly, where have you been all my life - politics desperately needed this kind of refreshing honesty.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.
