Farage says he can't investigate pro-Russian links in Reform because he doesn't "have a police force".

You really need to start thinking of better excuses Nigel Farage - or the public will think you're hiding something.

Keep up the pressure. Reform is only where it is because the media have given Farage a free ride for over a decade!

We can’t leave #Farage & #ReformUK to “investigate” Russian influence in their own party!

Leeds Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social has written to @metro.co.uk urging #Starmer to back a public inquiry.

There's a petition you can sign calling for this, too: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

If you think you can trust Farage to run the country, just listen to him lie about Brexit and the "Norway Option".

“…it’s time to address the elephant in the room of British politics. It is one that everyone else can see across Europe; and opinion polls tell us the public is way ahead of Westminster. To paraphrase James Carville, it’s the Brexit, silly.”

Nigel Farage says Reform would “reduce the size of the bloated state” by seizing Brexit opportunities to deregulate

@jreland.bsky.social points out in @the-independent.com that this creates a dilemma - the more the UK does things differently to the EU, the more work there is for British bureaucrats

Farage is asked about another two of his MEPs, who made the same pro-Russia statements that Nathan Gill has now pled guilty to being bribed to make.

"Opinions are opinions."

Farage's defence seems to be that they arrived at those views independently and it has nowt to do with him.

Hmm. 🤔 ~AA

New info shows that Nathan Gill (the Reform Leader in Wales convicted of taking Russian bribes) was joined by 2 of his fellow UKIP MEP colleagues on a paid trip to Russia.
They then repeated his pro-Russia talking points in Parliament.
New prosecutions?

I'd sooner trust a stoned monkey with a bag of hand grenades than this lot with the economy.
Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.
