If anyone doubted that the BBC is deliberately not covering the Russian/Reform bribery scandal, those doubts should have been removed by Fiona Bruce interrupting to prevent it being discussed on BBC Question time last night.

It’s increasingly clear that convicted Russian influencer Nathan Gill was a senior member of Farage’s entourage. (Banks and Wigmore were also in and out of the Russian embassy sharing FBI files, RT talking points, and discussing gold and diamond privatisation deals)

Nathan Gill (Reform) admitted eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements he made in the European parliament. Reform would like you to think there is no link to Farage, but here he is out campaigning with Gill. Time to expose Farage's links to Russia.
