@Deepfella1 @Dangerman1971 @McardleTrevor ok, Basically, political donations have to be declared; genuinely personal gifts don’t. Farage says the £5m was personal, but it landed just before he stood for Parliament, so the watchdog is deciding whether that explanation holds up. That’s the issue, tricky...

Don’t rule out the Tories becoming the biggest party at the next election. Reform in free fall. Farage competing with a bin. So much hinges on whether Burnham is hot air or the real deal.

@BooksProfile @McardleTrevor Gill echoed Farage's earlier "poking the Russian bear" rhetoric in his own EP interventions around 2018-2019, amid a broader debate over potential Russian influence on UK politicians' foreign policy views.

@MatthewStandin @McardleTrevor Here's factual: check the European Parliament database of MEP speeches. Gill & Farage used the same phraseology about Russia & Ukraine. We know Gill was in the pay of Russia.

Farage received £ 550 000 for appearances on Russia Today in 2018 alone Russia Today - funded by the Kremlin - lost it’s UK broadcast licence in 2022 Gill got 10 years for accepting Russian money to advocate for them as an MEP Farage made the same statements

@Dangerman1971 @McardleTrevor A former UKIP/Brexit Party MEP Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to Russian-linked bribes for pro-Russia EU statements, but Farage distanced himself with no proven direct personal payments for parliamentary activity or major Brexit funding from Russia.

@MatthewStandin @McardleTrevor Yes, Russia. He's worked for them, been paid by them (for questions in the EU parliament, for Russia Today, for the Brexit campaign), he's spouted their propaganda. He's balls deep in Russian collusion.

@McardleTrevor Chris Bryant later corrected the claim in Parliament and apologised, saying the RT figure was “nowhere near” accurate.

@LizWebsterSBF @andyburnham Her performative cruelty as Home Secretary is rewarded with a job she’s manifestly unqualified for, which will cost the country economically, and Labour electorally. Burnham has fucked it before he’s even started.

If @andyburnham appoints Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, it will be seen as a concession to Glasman’s Blue Labour and to sections of the media and markets that have been openly promoting her. His first major appointment would tell us a great deal about who has influence around him.

@Heccles94 Goodwin saying 'may have' says it all. What he means is there is zero evidence that Reform politicians have been targeted but they'll roll with that bullshit anyway. They are repulsive using another Politician's death to play the victim!

This is disgraceful, the Police should have a word with Reform UK, They are spreading conspiracy theories and whipping up fear to distract from the fact the Nigel is a fraud about to lose to a bin. Let the police do their job.
