They are using that as an excuse. They maintain shops to support their brands. Apart from the machines, most revenue is online.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

The comms is universally acknowledged to have been awful; with this they failed to sell the value. Same with ECHR - don’t use the acronym, ask why you wouldn’t want to keep (any from list of protections).

Not only is he throwing away the lead tech position, he is writing off the sunk money for no return.

I know plenty of politicians 'working classify' their backgrounds, but this from Jenrick is taking the piss.

His father's linked in is here: uk.linkedin.com/in/bill-jenr...

He was a managing accountant who ended up as the Managing Director of Cannon Industries

I remember the look on Raab’s face when one of his committee grillings had to explain to him that we would need to match up agencies with the EU to support trade. He was trying to explain there would be cuts.
