On the frontline of a deluge on the Welsh borders, @juderogers.bsky.social heard local stories of devastation and heroism – but incredibly, the disaster was barely referred to in Westminster and the national press

11/ Gill was close to Nigel Farage, a trusted colleague and a senior figure both in Ukip/Brexit party and Reform. The Met police says Farage was not interviewed and there's no suggestion he took bribes / is linked to Gill's case. They say investigations into other unspecified politicians are ongoing

8/ In these messages Voloshyn asks Gill to arrange for three MEPs to make "comments on camera". He mentions ex-Ukip/Brexit party MEPs Jonathan Arnott and David Coburn. There's no suggestion Arnott & Coburn took bribes, knew about Voloshyn, or agreed to this particular proposal

4/ As a fiercely independent news platform, we believe it's important that the public can access the detail of the case. And now we are publishing our timeline online. It details all of Gill's charges and related activity, including this one:

3/ We gave this timeline of evidence, the charges and context out outside court. No one had heard of Gill. Of course, it's hard for stories to cut through. But it's made harder when only 2 papers - Guardian & Mirror - mention the conviction/story on their front page & only one prints Gill's picture🙄

WhatsApps reveal Gill sought to recruit other Brexit/Reform MEPs to make pro-Kremlin statements and that Gill’s handler took orders from Viktor Medvedchuk, a close Putin ally. It's a complex, detail-heavy story. So we went back to journalism's roots and made a pamphlet to hand out at the Old Bailey.

Clear legal evidence Putin's Russia was bribing some UKIP/Reform leaders during the lead up to the Brexit deal. So there is a clear need for an independent investigation into where UKIP got all the money that it used to promote its well funded leave campaign.

This is outrageous from Keir Starmer.

‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ??

BREAKING: Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10 & a half years in prison after pleading guilty to eight charges of bribery from a Russian agent.

The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.
