The real question to ask of #Farage is: Do you deny that in 2019 you accepted GBP £1,000,000 in cash from Russia (paid via Tether etc.) to withdraw #Reform candidates in seats with sitting Conservative MPs, so as to ensure Boris Johnson’s Tories would be elected? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Conundrum: who to believe, Burnham or Johnson the liar sacked from two jobs for lying and due to be suspended from Parliament until he ran away. The HoC committee that investigated his behavior found that he committed repeated contempts of Parliament by misleading the House & the committee itself.

When you've got traitors like Nathan Gill, Farage, The Daily Mail, the Express and The Telegraph spouting your talking points for you, Putin doesn't need to. If RefUK ever won an election we would become a vassal state of Russia, which is what Trump wants the USA to become.
