Married with cats. European Lancashire lass. Scientific background, dabbles in the arts. Dislikes right-wing fascists, war, cruelty to animals. Voted tactically to get Tories out. No to Trump UK visit. Trickle down economics does not work IMHO. No DM's.

So it now appears the woman Farage and Gill were so close to has a direct link not only to Putin’s “Man in Ukraine” Medvedchuk, but his predecessor as President, Medvedev

These are top Russian agents.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 4d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

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.
