Nathan Gill was jailed for 10.5 years for about £40k in Russian bribes via a Ukrainian oligarch, politician and media mogul whose daughter has Putin as literal godfather.
Imagine how much Farage has accrued through various opaque channels.

I don’t think there’s any point challenging illusions on this level. I mean, she’s convinced Nigel is going to ‘save the country’ — so what chance is there she’ll accept anything people have claimed about his youth, or anything former colleagues and allies have said? Reality doesn’t stand a chance.👇

Oh the irony of a Reform politician saying “everyone is human”, except for people fleeing war and persecution, people who don’t share their politics, people who out them for their crimes and racism.
Ah yes, the British edition of MAGA — one of Farage’s loyal disciples who never asks questions.
Criticise their leader? Suddenly it’s special treatment only, please.
And if you dare mention the glaringly obvious racism?
Congratulations, you’re now a ‘lefty looney.’ How original.

I read “It is hard to imagine that taking place in Britain” initially as “thank goodness”. Then I realised that Phillips *wants* this for Britain! He wants a Britain where visible minorities live in fear of abduction and deportation? WTAF?
Just a jaw-dropping paragraph in Trevor Phillips's column for The Times.
This is a policy that, by his own account, has left parents of a particular race too frightened to walk their children to school.
And that's the example he chooses of the "vigour" we "need".

Possibly the stupidest idea I've heard in the last few months, which is saying something. Shows utter ignorance around practicalities regardless of the ethics/desirability.
Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further

Nathan Gill's price at UKIP, then Reform Wales, was only £40k.
As @petergeoghegan.bsky.social noted in his book 'Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics', UK politicians can be bought remarkably cheaply.

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.
