Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform UK in Wales, sentenced to 10.5 years for bribery and corruption

He pleaded guilty to eight counts of accepting money from a pro-Russian activist in Ukraine to read scripted speeches in the European parliament disparaging of the Ukrainian government.

Hopefully the severity of the sentence will remind other Reform politicians where their duty and loyalty should lie, and cure them of their inexplicable sympathies for Russia.

Now do Friends of Israel for UK politicians?

@gol979 I'm not sure Israel is as important to UK politicians as it is to American. Reform has a bizarre obsession with Russia . . pwrhaps explained by the numerous "business opportunities" that Putin's corrupt regime offers.

@SunshineGirl reform, same as all the other main parties, do not represent the people that vote for them. Just pointing out if you bring up reform and representing russia you should a!so hold the same principle for politicians and Friends of Israel? Crux of the matter is, voting is a rigged game and the suits you select to govern/rule you do not represent you

@gol979 If you have any evidence, show it. Advocating an idea or cause in a democratic forum is one thing, accepting money to do so is corruption under UK law.

@SunshineGirl type in "Friends of Israel uk politiicans" on the internet and you will clearly see how many of them are taking money/influence from the israeli government (all major political parties, its bi-partisan)......like i said, if you are calling reform out (correctly) then you should also call the others out
