“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”
“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”
You can have those for nothing, lads.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

Ukraine should continue defending, Europe should increase support, and in the preliminaries Trump’s power will be curbed, and Epstein will sink this admin.

I expect to be reposting this every three months or so until the end of the Trump administration.
The more that members of the Trump administration talk, the more it sounds as if Plan A to stop the war was to coerce Ukraine into capitulation and Plan B was to keep repeating Plan A until it worked. When it became apparent that wasn't going to happen, they were out of ideas.

Reform UK in Leicestershire Council are paying consultants Newton £1.4m to do the job they claimed DOGE would do.
Thats £4.72 per Council Tax paying household.
It could rise to £30m they are paying Newton. Thats £101 per household in Leicestershire.
