Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.
Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.
Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

I often see people saying we have to be careful about using the term evil. But fuck it, if you support a policy that brings potential harm to a vulnerable minority or just makes their everyday life extremely difficult I'm going to call it how I see it. It's YOU that needs to take a look at yourself.

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so.
I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question.
