Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

The PCR positivity map is out, and UKHSA is reporting English national positivity at 2.3%.
Adjusted for non-reporting, it's actually 3.53% - not as low as it was in January/February, but as low as in March.
In Scotland it's 2.67%.

It seems to me that the pre-covid paradigm has been inverted.
We no longer have "flu season" for a couple of months in winter.
The norm is now year-round respiratory disease with an "off-season" of a couple of months.
This year, that was in spring.

Despite the cut, this lecture sets out what America has for a president, amid how antimoral ideas leech across certain elements of our wider, global society. A question I asked myself on listening is : How much far right toxin have our younger politicians absorbed by studying where they did?
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
