NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6–8% hit to GDP
That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Gibb, normally the "invisible man," is not used to scrutiny.
Shovelled into post by Johnson to attempt to "destroy from within," he is lashing out, as all far-right politicians, stooges, and "little helpers" do.
Lisa Nandy, time for you to act. You are almost buried now. At least do your job now.

In all the BBC reporting of Gibb no mention of his GB News role. The debate re his political influence was purely centred round his advisory role to May, but surely his GBNews connection is much more indicative of his standpoint.

Gibb; “ I had no editorial role whatsoever at the Jewish Chronicle”. Lee Harpin, reporter at the paper; “RG made a habit of calling into the office on print days to check up on what stories were topping the news list, and offering a view’”

The vindictive pursuit and vilification of Cadwalladr whilst she dug away revealing all sorts of dodgy dealings around Brexit kind of tells us a lot more than we realise. Powerful forces pull strings to silence truth and truth-seekers. The Russia report is just one more dirty little secret miasma.
