Maybe, like the “eye told you so” column you should introduce a “By- told you so” feature.

To all you patriots (and UK authorities)

Is this not political interference of the most egregious and socially divisive kind?

So MI5 have found Nathan Gill a serious threat to the UK,and the mainstream media find this a none story? No doubt MI5 have Nigel Farage on their radar considering the close links he has to Mr Gill.

It needs a better investigation of the issue than a parliamentary committee, even one with statutory powers, can do. Something like an American special prosecutor.

Rupert Lowe's take on Nathan Gill 👀

"Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close... He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again."
"He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar"

s/s X-Twitter post from Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10
I have received A LOT of questions about Nathan Gill, having sat as a Brexit Party MEP alongside him in Brussels and Strasbourg. He was also the Reform leader in Wales. For those who don’t know, he has pleaded guilty to taking pro-Russian bribes over a number of months.

Obviously, I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close. He was the head of the delegation of our MEPs, so with the whip ran the day-to-day affairs of our grouping and organised activity in Brussels/Strasbourg. He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again.

He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar. There was one event, right at the beginning of our term, which he asked me and other MEPs to attend. Due to his position in the grouping, I agreed. It had a very pro-Russian slant, with individuals who claimed to be close to Putin there. For obvious reasons, I did not attend another such event.

I thought his obsession with that part of the world was strange, but given his years in the Parliament and position in the party, I didn’t think there was more to it. Other MEPs also found it unusual, but we just got on with job.

So to journalists asking, there is my response.

It is disgraceful behaviour, treasonous behaviour.

I am ashamed to have ever sat alongside him.

So it now appears the woman Farage and Gill were so close to has a direct link not only to Putin’s “Man in Ukraine” Medvedchuk, but his predecessor as President, Medvedev

These are top Russian agents.

There are plenty of reasons why. EU funding plus currency independence; thriving tech and defence sectors; lower taxes for young Poles so less brain drain, etc.

But Poland also has a very different attitude to building things.
