NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

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.

I hope Ukraine and the rest of Europe tell Trump and Putin to 🤬 off. This is not a ‘Peace Plan’ it is surrender. I remember the assurances Ukraine were given in 1994 (Budapest Memorandum) - assurances from 🇺🇸🇷🇺 are worth Jack 💩.

The second attack on Peacekeepers in Lebanon in the last 2 weeks by the IDF. When will the UN and its member countries hold 🇮🇱 to account for its blatant aggression and stop arming 🇮🇱. International Law matters!

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
