100% right. There is so much about this whole BBC saga that is simply mad but Lewis is right that the Corporation now has the chance to take a stand for something important. It should take that opportunity.
Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

Trump's attack can rescue the BBC
The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom

Reporter: Have you ever been a friend of former UKIP MEP, now former leader of Reform_UK in Wales, Nathan Gill?

In these photos of Farage, Nathan Gill and Cottrell, it's interesting that Gill has got a friendly hand on Cottrell's shoulder.
Cottrell is a convicted fraudster who is an expert in criminal money-laundering. Why was the Russian asset so friendly with the money-launderer?

Without addressing the supply of housing, The Tory policy of scrapping stamp duty will just put up prices. Instead of the government getting money for public services, developers and sellers will make more profit.
It does nothing to enable more home ownership. More garbage from the Tories.

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

Questions that should be answered: Was Nigel Farage present in the chamber during Nathan Gill’s pro-Russian interventions. Did he discuss the contents of any of these statements with Nathan Gill? Did he ever meet with Oleg Voloshyn?
