Has the national media decided it’s a ‘Welsh story’? Or is it because all the r/w print outlets ignoring it?

Either way, voters in Caerphilly have been failed by both the police & now the media

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social I hear you are talking to Laura Kuenssberg tomorrow morning?

Can you ask her why this story is being exposed by a 3-week-old-old outlet @thenerve.news & not the BBC?? 🤔

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

⚠Reform aren't offering real solutions - they're exaggerating and exploiting immigration to divide us.

Their rhetoric is making families feel unwelcome in their own communities.

🗳On 23 October, vote Plaid Cymru to stop Reform's hate-fuelled politics in its tracks.

‘A Day in Autumn’ - #RSThomas
(Poetry for Supper, Rupert Hart-Davis)

Text of poem -

A Day in Autumn.
It will not always be like this, The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening
In the lawn's mirror. Having looked up From the day's chores, pause a minute, Let the mind take its photograph Of the bright scene, something to wear Against the heart in the long cold.
- RS Thomas

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election

Reform UK has received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations...

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.
