What the judges said:

Thank you for your support Steve!

Thank you Caroline!

Many congratulations to Sergei, Carole, @peterjukes.bsky.social and all those who contributed. Absolutely earned and deserved.

So exceptional it's like a full investigation and inquiry of a national catastrophe sitting right there on a silver plate for the government to take immediate action on...

Public pressure for an inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics is growing - and rightly so.

Our legal case now in the Grand Chamber of Strasbourg demands what justice requires: the government must investigate. Follow our campaign 👇

After Nathan Gill’s sentencing this could not be more timely. A democracy that won’t investigate its own weaknesses becomes one.

A huge moment for everyone who refused to let this story be buried @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @ruthabrahams.bsky.social

Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring exposed how a Kremlin-linked influence network operated in plain sight - and how the government chose not to look.

🚨 Last night, it won GOLD at the APA Awards 🌟🧵

🥳🥳🥳

Also: where’s the fecking investigation, Keir Starmer?

The Welsh parliament, Nigel Farage, @prifweinidog.gov.wales @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @zackpolanski.bsky.social are all now in agreement that we need a govt-led inquiry into Russian interference. So what on earth is the problem??

Alastair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social saying what too many still won’t.

The warnings were there. The threat is real. What’s missing is the political will to confront where they land.

@carolinelucas.bsky.social @benbradshaw.bsky.social @alynsmith.bsky.social & @the-citizens.bsky.social
have been fighting this case since 2020.

The KC who filed it is now Attorney General.

If Starmer wants an investigation into Russia, he can have one. So why is he refusing?

Starmer acknowledged the seriousness but avoided the actual question - will his government investigate too? @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

If calling an inquiry is the mark of a leader, why aren’t you doing it? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Government could launch an inquiry into Russian interference tomorrow. They’re choosing not to.

All of this is happening as we head toward another election with no meaningful protections.

That’s why we’ve taken this fight to Europe’s highest human rights court.

Here @carolecadwalla.bsky.social lays out the chain of command behind Gill’s bribery 👇

The Gill case is not an isolated incident. Far from it.

As @carolecadwalla.bsky.social explains on Novara Media, the network exposed in court reaches far beyond one man - and that should alarm all of us.

We’ve been fighting for an inquiry into Russian interference with @carolinelucas.bsky.social since 2020.

After today’s sentencing of Nathan Gill, what more evidence does government need?

Stay updated on the campaign: citizensreunited.substack.com/subscribe

Gill’s conviction is why our case matters. The European Court ruled states must protect citizens from foreign disinformation - but stopped short of forcing the UK to investigate.

That’s why we’re taking this fight to the Grand Chamber.

Government, what are you waiting for?

Nathan Gill’s sentencing should be the final wake-up call for Britain to take the threat of Russian interference seriously, says @benbradshaw.bsky.social

It should be acknowledged:

The British UK media - BIG press - have been nowhere on this throughout. Small independent new providers pushed all the way for years:

Thank you to all of you who worked on this.
