Summary
Nigel Farage finally admitted he knew Nathan Gill, a former associate convicted of bribery for taking payments from a pro-Russian Ukrainian MP linked to Putin ally Viktor Medvedchuk. Despite Farage claiming to be 'stunned' by the conviction, insiders say it is 'inconceivable' he was unaware of Gill's pro-Russian statements. The article scrutinizes Farage's delayed response and the inconsistencies in his denials, raising questions about Reform UK's connections to pro-Russian figures.
