Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

Bloke in pub at bar forcefully positing The Beatles were really bloody good & remarkably creative.
The more everyone murmurs agreement the louder his protestations "They bloody were! There's no arguing it!"
He also concedes The Stones were good, in their way.

So why aren't "journalists" camped on Fartrage's doorstep shouting at him about Reform's "Russian bribery problem"? I mean they were doing it to Jeremy Corbyn over "Labour's anti-Semitism problem" + I don't recall any of the Labour party even being prosecuted for it, never mind jailed for 10 years
