> Reform UK’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been jailed at the Old Bailey for 10 and a half years for taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia when he was a Member of European Parliament.
>
> Gill, a member of the Ukip and Brexit party blocs led by Nigel Farage in the European parliament, had pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery between 6 December 2018 and 18 July 2019.
>
> Police say Gill received the equivalent of at least £40,000 and could have got even more from Oleg Voloshyn, an alleged Russian asset who is also under investigation but is now believed to be in Moscow.
Absolutely nuts that stuff like this happens
Treasonous pig.
Shocking, I would never have guessed.
Oh what a surprise, I never thought right wing politicians had connections with Russia.
I never ever imagine such a thing, even when it started with Berlusconi, Salvini, Orban, Farage, Le Pen, Trump.
Wow now I really start to believe there is something there, like Russia push all the buttons to divide and polirise us to make our life miserable.
I’m sure this was a black sheep. /s
40k is all it takes for these people. They dont care about you.
I hope people remember this when the elections come round again.
Committing treason for £40… man must have some serious gambling habits if that’s all it took!
It’s always the people you most expect.
I wonder how much English reform leaders took.
Colour me surprised!
It’s not surprising that every man has his price. The surprise is how low it usually turns out to be.
It’s always the one you most expect.
If he was taking them, his boss absolutely was.
This is how you treat the russian-backed traitors!!! If the US had done the same a year ago, we wouldn’t be in this mess
Cool, do Farage next
Literally treason…
Didn’t we have another punishment for that?
Now investigate Farage. These two spouted almost identical bullshit when they were MEPs
This is a long overdue sentence, but really we need to not just do it when Russia or China is involved.
Influencing politicians with money, jobs or favours is almost always going to be wrong.
People will still want to vote reform 🙄
Hopefully they keep him quite solitary/monitor his contact with other prisoners incase he tries to get them to commit arson for Russia once they’re freed.
What a surprise, Reform „politicians“ connected to Russia. Completely shocking. Couldn’t have predicted it.
