Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges.
Reform UK's former leader in Wales has admitted taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while being a Member of the European Parliament.
Nathan Gill, 52, from Llangefni, Anglesey, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery between 6 December 2018 and 18 July 2019.
The politician took money from Oleg Voloshyn - a man once described by the US government as a "pawn" of Russian secret services - and made speeches in the parliament, statements to a TV channel and arranged an event with a pro-Russian politician.

Counter-Currents mentioned in French interview of a rhetorician about Charlie Kirk:
The editor of the alt-right intellectual journal Counter-Currents called Kirk a “watchdog of the conservative establishment” who stood in the way of those beginning “their transition to the real right: nationalist, populist, identitarian, and conscious of the ‘Jewish question.’” Already in 2019, there was a real war on some campuses between the alt-right and supporters of Kirk and the pro-Zionist Ben Shapiro, who used exactly the same “debate” techniques as Kirk, with great success on pro-Zionist campuses, while Kirk appeared on campuses deemed conservative. Each to his own audience.
