The Nathan Gill case is the only example of Russian interference in Reform and the right of UK politics. They got the guy, that's it, job done. Nothing else to see here.
Gill is being sentenced today for 8 counts of bribery from a Russian agent.

This is why it matters & this is who it harmed: Ukrainian protestors outside the Old Bailey.

Older people have always hated young people in this way. Look back centuries and you'll find newspaper stories that are the same.
They think it's the downfall of society. Really it's fear of their own mortality, regret they didn't make the most of being young and envy that it's someone else's turn.

The hatred the youth parliament gets is just so out of proportion. Can these people hear themselves. It’s creepy.

One of the reasons for the failure of modern politics is that saying something so profoundly obvious is now a radical or niche position

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Reform are an eminently beatable prospect, but you know, as David Cameron once said: “lads, it’s the Labour Party“.
One thing that's difficult to assess re: Reform is whether the fact they're deeply deeply weird will matter more in the context of an election campaign.

Often delaying a resignation is bad politics.
But by allowing so many to call for it - based on what is a relatively minor misdemeanor - Angela Rayner has potentially created big problems for them in the future.
Some already have worse on their records.

Politicians have been cowards on X and it is a disgrace.
Understandably and predictably, sometimes people choose the latter. And that means police have to intervene on lots of cases that could and should’ve been dealt with by moderators instead. Right wing people are getting arrested because Musk won’t enforce the law on X. And politicians won’t say that.

think the reason why this feels both frightening and maddening, as opposed to merely the former, is that it doesn't even feel like we're in a losing battle, somehow we're engaged in a battle where most alleged good guys don't seem to care or notice what's going on, so yeah, it keeps getting worse
