A senior Reform member who was their leader in Wales has pleaded guilty to 8 charges of bribery.
He took money from someone connected with the Russian Secret Service to make positive statements about Russia in the EU Parliament when an MEP.
So it's clear:
Vote Reform. Get Putin. Become a traitor.

The whole point of buying the books you are giving to people for Christmas in a bookshop and not online on Amazon is not only to support the bookshop but to accidentally find a number of books you don’t have time for yet feel obliged to buy and take home with you anyway because they are wonderful.

Over a year since its illegal felling, we're making sure the legacy of the Sycamore Gap tree lives on 🌳
When the Sycamore Gap tree was felled last September, we recovered 49 saplings from its roots as part of our 'Trees of Hope' initiative - one to represent each foot in height of the tree.
