Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.
The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.
🔴 Breaking I Davie faced mounting criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump

Peter Kyle has met extensively with big tech firms — raising concerns about corporate influence on policy.
With Labour’s NHS plans heavily reliant on tech, the stakes are high.
Should MPs really be this close to corporate giants?

One problem of political parties spending so much time mired in, studying and unpacking voters who are moving far right, is that they mistakenly see those beliefs as representative of the whole country’s. They begin to skew towards them. And in doing so, legitimize and lead others that way too

How many signs of democratic collapse do we need?
A push to impeach judges not for misconduct but defying Trump? Refusal to honor a court order to turn around planes? Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act outside wartime? A budget clearing him to ignore Congress? Jailing students?
The list goes on.
