Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

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.

The Greens secured just under 2 million votes last time with half the members they have now. With the current trend in membership and support, we're looking at multiples of that number by the next GE. They're already polling on 15% of the vote, just 2% behind Labour & the Tories.
