This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.
Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.
Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

So, Farage, in the same breath, has stated that:
Minimum wage should be cut for young people (currently at £10 an hour - oh the largesse!)
And
Young people earning over £100k a year should get tax cuts.
That tells you just about everything you need to know about where his priorities lie.

London is apparently collapsing because millionaires are having to lower their asking prices and someone’s hairdresser is a bit upset.
