How the hell did the reform MP taking Russian bribes not become headline news? He’d been in ukip,brexit & reform with Farage for years & he’s taking money from Russia to promote Russian interests. Why isn’t this everywhere & more questions being asked? Glad he got 10 years #Reform #Russia #Ruskiform
