Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK? Our new Byline Times edition investigates what the media won't 👇

Just so I'm clear on this. You can be a violent football hooligan, but as long as you're an Israeli, it's OK?

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

Farage has given up the pretence that he barely knew Nathan Gill. He can't do otherwise, given the flood of evidence to the contrary. Here is Gill saying he's just come from having lunch with Farage on the day that Farage resigned as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

I'm unsurprised, mind you. Dubai is a paradise to those who measure success on tax-free wealth and taste on the basis of naff gold-plated supercars. A gigantic soulless autocratic a/c shopping centre in a desert. I know that some people think otherwise but that was my impression when I went.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Pochinoccio strikes again. Reform UK’s @SarahForRuncorn has removed a video about Runcorn Boxing Club after lying about her helping getting funding for them. Statement by the club has shown her to once again have made up things about representing her local area. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CXr...

Never makes gaffes @mrjamesob.bsky.social

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract. There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m... Thread:

Nigel Farage on Javier Milei

If you support Reform UK, then you're either a racist and/or a traitor. I'd gladly have hanging brought back for being a traitor.

After the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money, worth reupping the FIVE QUESTIONS Nigel Farage is never asked about his fondness for Putin @bylinetimes.bsky.social

London protests as Putin ally Anna Netrebko performs at Royal Opera House. #NoStageForRussia

Farage wants the UK to quit the ECHR. It is exactly what Putin wants, for the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and the international rule of law. Farage is a traitor.

Just to confirm my suspicions that people’s perception of the national position (via social/media) is very different from their local perceptions, these graphs from @moreincommonuk.bsky.social via @samfr.bsky.social’s sane and vital Substack, illustrate the difference

Whoa.

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left. Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

These people are stunned when I show them the evidence that small boat crossings for August were at their lowest since 2019. Or that immigration has more than halved over the past year. And that the crime rate in London is lower than the national average. And so on. They are living off lies.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

An utterly inadequate government led by utterly inadequate people.

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary . Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.

Western Europe:

This was Monday, five days ago.

The Nigel Farage who wrote this about Charlie Kirk's murder will be furious at the Nigel Farage who made Lucy Connolly a star of the Reform conference

The murders of Melissa Hortman and Charlie Kirk were both abhorrent. Hortman's life was taken by an anti-abortion MAGA assassin. What did Charlie Kirk say about that political murder on Twitter? HIs first impulse was to amplify the MAGA line that Hortman was probably killed by a leftist.

More extraordinary still is the sanitising of Kirk's politics. Kirk was - and this is just a straightforwardly factual statement - a far right activist. And here's a former British Prime Minister not merely mourning his death or condemning his murder but actively *praising* his politics.

Agreed.

Somebody forged his signature for some unknown reason in a book that was never meant to see the light of day and they did it 22 years ago and just left it in there on the off-chance it might one day be seen? That's the story we're going with, is it?

🔴BBC Accused of Pro-Reform Bias as Lib Dems Launch Campaign to End ‘Wall to Wall’ Farage Coverage They accuse the BBC of “following Farage around like a lost puppy” and have complained to Ofcom to demand fair coverage bylinetimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

I mean this seems like a legitimate question from @annaturley.bsky.social

He didn't "misspeak". He lied. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“I too came from a poorish family,” says the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, eldest son of Major-General Gilbert Monckton, 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and Marianna Letitia, Viscountess Monckton of Brenchley.

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage 25% tax rather than HR

If Rayner had set out to minimise her tax bill, she could have waited til her son turned 18 before buying the Hove house. She didn't because she wasn't trying to minimise her tax bill.

Fingers crossed.
