Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.
Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.
Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

People are probably calling Labour racist because Labour keep being racist. If they want to stop being called racist they should stop doing racist things.

Tommy Robinson, meanwhile, has suggested the announcement is a victory for the far right. So, well done Labour - great work.

I believe Epstein worked for Mossad, et al, to gather compromising information on political figures in a "honey pot" situation where Jeff provided the parties, the girls, and videotaped everything. Robert Maxwell was an alleged asset for foreign intelligence doing Honey Traps for blackmail. Same MO
