This Reform mayoral candidate just can’t stop questioning minority ethnic politicians’ loyalty to the UK. He’s done it over and over again. Nigel Farage should have sacked him two weeks ago. He must sack him now.

This is interesting. Complaining about closing of TV channels in Ukraine, which were Russian propaganda machines, was part of what Nathan Gill was paid to do by Russia. It got him jailed for over 10 years. Here is Brexit member David Coburn complaining about the same thing. Coincidence? Perhaps.
