If you think the Gill conviction is bad, linking the Reform UK Party leader's closest aide to the Kremlin, wait to you hear about another Leave campaigner and his connections to Putin's inner circle

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".

He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs

You can fuck off too. I cannot for the life of me think why people are so fuck in the head. Once you find out someone is a rapist of children or provider of children to Pedofiles you fucking say, "Fuck off you fucking degenerate." You especially don't make excuses for that degenerate Donald Trump.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

You couldn’t get that movie made. The plot is too outlandish.
Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Oh, but it does matter Nigel. It matters a great deal.

"They're only making these claims now, because I'm leading in the opinion polls".

The claims were reported 13 years ago, Nigel... 🤮

Gove has been an extremely poisonous influence on our politics. Undermining expert consensus on Brexit [had enough of experts, etc] and lying his way through the whole process in the aftermath of the Referendum. A travesty that he is on this panel of judges assessing political writing.
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise
