“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.

Reform UK’s Leader in Wales Nathan Gill will be sentenced today after pleading guilty to 8 charges or Russian Bribery. 🇷🇺
