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

Reform UK’s Nathan Gill met with EU President Tajani to lobby him based on Russian Bribes.

Even then, Nigel Farage didn’t bat an eyelid.

Remarkable video. He had never shown an interest in free speech related to Ukrainian TV channels before.

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.

Seems @ReformDurham and @darrengrimes_ owe their electorate an apology,

They sold Durham the unicorns of DOGE and no council tax increases.

DOGE has found nothing and now they may be raising council tax.

Never trust a Reformer.
