Not even ready to run a local authority by the looks of things. Many fine examples of Reforms incompetence up and down the country.

Somehow, I don't trust the statement from Labour's Dan Jarvis that said 'London will “never allow” extraditions for political purposes.' I'll believe that when I see it. Meanwhile, China is upping its intelligence capability in its embassy with no pushback from the UK government.

This seems a bit rich. He was "pushed by another man in Nuneaton." Well, I was pushed by a rather too jolly woman in Penzance as she staggered out of the White Lion. But she didn't give a platform to someone advocating burning asylum seekers to death.

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!

Rupert Lowe on Nathan Gill, former Reform leader in Wales, who has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from pro-Russian proxies:

"I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close."

Shots fired. ~AA

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.

Love the human reference in the article. Well done Iceland.

'The last time something similar took place before Surtsey’s emergence was the birth of Anak Krakatau, Indonesia, in 1927, but it was quickly contaminated by humans. Icelandic researchers were adamant that this time would be different."
A new island erupted from the sea – can it show us how nature works without human interference?
The volcanic island of Surtsey emerged in the 1960s, and scientists say studying its development offers hope for damaged ecosystems worldwide

One of the greatest losses from austerity because the provision of youth clubs/facilities are not statutory for councils. On that basis youth clubs were pretty much the first to go as councils battled huge budget cuts.

NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

My personal newsletter on the story behind the story. Brexit, Trump, Russia & now...Nathan Gill.

Good on you. Never liked music streaming services. I either buy the CD and create a flac files or purchase the flac files. All stored a personal media server. The CDs are never sold on, just stored in a box.

I'm sure Farage came there numerous times. Else why did by his girlfriend a house there. I sure she said she was expecting him to come again at the weekend.

Farage finally visits Clacton. (Which means nobody of any intellect will go there.) 🤮

Every time Farage opens his gob, someone else’s council tax goes up. #ukpolitics

Labour suggestions that 13 year old children should have to have a digital ID card is simply wrong.
