so worked out my costs for the german trip as below, note UK is cheap as first 75KWh was done at home so brought overall cost down, would have to include 15 quid for the cost of ionity & tesla memberships. Some assumptions though, especially on petrol cost where germany and france are higher than UK

Rupert Lowe pegs Nathan Gill to Nigel Farage

"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.

2/2 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.

Between this and major media orgs rejecting the new rules for covering the Pentagon, we are finally seeing resistance and more importantly COLLECTIVE RESISTANCE from elite organizations. Should have happened January-June, but better later than never.
