A senior Reform member who was their leader in Wales has pleaded guilty to 8 charges of bribery.
He took money from someone connected with the Russian Secret Service to make positive statements about Russia in the EU Parliament when an MEP.
So it's clear:
Vote Reform. Get Putin. Become a traitor.

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic.

Don't be fooled. The only reason anyone would want to leave the European Convention of Human Rights is so that they can abuse the rights of people less fortunate than themselves. The only reason.
