This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

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

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

Exactly but they’re self destructing and don’t need any help. Too many fatally flawed characters in their ranks and they can’t help themselves.

If Farage had to give up lying his total silence would be welcome, but the chances of that happening are non existent.

It seems like there’s an authoritarian streak in Reform Councils, typical of incompetence and aping the style of their leader Farage. They’ve caused chaos in Cornwall, now it’s Northumberland.

Farage and his gang are experts in using dark money to fund their campaigns, Brexit is a case in point. Now he’s started again, crypto funding laundered via a Polish company from unknown donors. It stinks, time to nip it in the bud.
