Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

Gill was described variously as Farage’s “enforcer” and “right-hand man”. One former Ukip MEP from that time told the Guardian: “Gill was in the thick of organising. He was the right-hand version of Farage. His office was right beside Farage’s.”

And what go the Tories and Reform want? The want to cancel clean energy projects! It's backwards thinking from them.

What if I told you, you can have good Universal Healthcare, Social Housing, good Benefits and Pensions, and all you have to sacrifice is having billionaires that aren't as rich.

Much better than endless hate to make billionaires, trillionaires.

Isn't it?

The Reform/Tories say the only way to pay for the enormous cost of billionaire tax dodgers that fund their political parties is by cutting welfare for the poorest in society.. #bbcqt

This week Nigel Farage said 'Never trust a Tory'
Just for the record:
Nigel Farage was a Tory
Lee Anderson was a Tory
Nadine Dorris was a Tory
Danny Kruger was a Tory
Zia Yussef was a Tory
Andrea Jenkins was a Tory
Sarah Atherton was a Tory
Jake Berry was a Tory
Ann Widdecombe was a Tory

Lady in scarf, "We are the only country in the G7, apart from Italy, that doesn't charge an exit tax" #BBCQT

"The CEO of Revolut bank - net worth £11 billion- who has decided to take his money to the UAE"

"He's not taxed on the money he's made, but a cleaner is taxed on her minimum wage"

Reform UK Treasurer Profited From Financial Ties to Elon Musk and Trump's Silicon Valley Billionaires Reform's biggest donor and Treasurer Nick Candy held investments in a US venture fund tied to Trump-supporting tech billionaires, including Elon Musk

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

State support for UK banks

Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England

Who else gets this level of state support?

"I worked in BBC News for years. When it frames guests on the Left (Faiza Shaheen) as “activists” (undermining them) & those on the Right as “academics” (boosting them) it’s usually a subconscious - not deliberate - decision; providing a candid insight into its institutional bias" - Sangeeta Myska

Reform UK would let ministers ignore international law, Kruger says Party’s efficiency chief says he would cut civil service and close six government offices – most of which are already closing

As much as anything else, why would any country work with us or trade with us if we just routinely ignored international law? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform Party Ltd are disappointed that one of their councillors has defected to the Tories saying he has betrayed his electorate. I don't remember anyone from Reform saying the defectors to them from the Tories are betraying their electorate.

Just for context and Elon Musk’s claim of “widespread slaughter” in Europe. The per capita murder rate is EIGHT TIMES HIGHER in the US

Living under a Reform council is terrifying & if they can’t even run councils, how could they possibly run a country?
