This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?
Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

🚨 Kazakh billionaire Hourieh Peramaa, not proven a UK citizen, linked to a £100k Reform UK donation via her London mansion’s firm. If true, that’s illegal foreign cash. Reform’s “anti-elite” shtick? Looks like dirty money politics.

@kirithentwistle.bsky.social hello, please can you support the swift bricks campaign t.co/aoZQm5zbBs ? We live in your constituency and already have a swift nest box ourselves, but more needs to be done to protect them. Please don't let the necessary measures to save our environment be discarded.
