This is Robbie Gibb’s BBC declaration. He says he owns 100% of the Jewish Chronicle. If that is the case, where did the money come from??
What potential conflicts of interests does he have? When is he going to answer these questions? And who is going to ask them?

Wanting Scottish or Welsh independence is not reactionary nationalism. Reactionary nationalism is wrapping yourself in British flags, supporting Brexit & banging on about immigration.
You don't get a free pass from reactionary nationalism because you're British.
