Stellar work Emma! It’s amazing isn’t it how Russians keep cropping up on both sides of the Atlantic. But though they tried to stop Clinton being elected (and succeeded) they never interfered in our elections did they?

The very idea!

And they tried to interfere with the election in Moldova last Saturday, thankfully the pro EU party won. Ch 4 did a great piece on Russian interference https://youtu.be/cw1hVOJG05Y?si=SW4wKrotRG99wnnV

That’s so interesting and well put together. I don’t understand why the press aren’t picking up on this …. Oh wait that was a little naive of me 🤣. Still it won’t change the opinions of the Farage cultists.

I find it astonishing the BBC has failed to pick it up. Perhaps they are all afraid of being fired if Farage gets in and so don’t want to run the risk? Perhaps they are scared of being accused of trying to unfairly dig up dirt on Reform? After all no other newspaper thinks anything negative on that party newsworthy so if you are the only one you obviously have an agenda (The Guardian being the exception I guess). The newspapers are owned by people who are following the Trump playbook and problems with Russia are, well, just not problems are they?

Dark times.

Great piece, we covered it here "A Reform Tale of Two MEPs: Bribery, Influence, and the Shadow of Russian Money - How Nathan Gill’s guilty plea exposed a deeper network of cash, propaganda, and political theatre"

If Gill sold his office for cash, Farage rented his out for applause.

Never mind the mainstream media, the other political parties should be milking this for all it's worth. 🙂

That is explained clearly and shows how corrupt Farage is. It won’t be delved into by the mainstream media because they are obsessed with immigration, they see Reform as saviours of Britain and the only party that can save our once great country from being overrun by immigrants!

Brilliant. What a pity all the Reform fans partner and I and our friends and neighbors come across never talk about anything except immigrants, and almost all our media has been bribed, I presume, to look the other way.
