I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Gibb describes himself as a “Thatcherite Conservative” and was an editorial adviser for GB News before its launch.
This graphic is a couple of years old, nearly, but it gives a sense of the web of influence.

Reform’s only Black local chairman, Neville Watson, has quit, saying he couldn’t stand the party’s tone and language on immigration.
Watson, who chaired the Edmonton & Winchmore Hill branch, told reporters the rhetoric was “nasty” and “not what Britain needs.”
Another one walks out… 🫠

We still don’t know where Laure Ferrari, 46, got the £885,000 that she used to purchase her and Nigel Farage’s constituency home near Clacton-on-Sea. 🤔
Two donors to Nigel Farage’s partner Laure Ferrari convicted of fraud, money-laundering and forgery. Belgian court rules that Daniel Pawlowiec and Marian Szolucha illegally funnelled over £100,000—largely in public funds—to the think tank she ran.
