Evidence please

VanityUnit66 · 08/02/2026 23:18

Reforms uk minister, Nathan Gill has been imprisoned for 10 years for taking Russian bribes. This barely made the right wing press. If that’s not a cover up, what is?

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 08/02/2026 23:21

You are correct

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 08/02/2026 23:22

I’m not sure MN has many Reform voters OP. You’re preaching to the choir

You’d be surprised!

Wormhole to disappear down sorted for the night.

Breaking up a strong European economic block works well for the Thiel, Musk, Project 2025 mob as there is less resistance to their cultural and economic power. They don’t want any sort of welfare state, or liberal democracies they want to keep the majority poor and ignorant. See how it’s going in the US. See also funding of Stephen Yaxley Lennon. Western chaos also suits Putin perfectly.

HeisseWeisseSchokolade · 08/02/2026 23:31

Ah yes, and Epstein was a KGB agent apparently :) That's what Russian agent Farage has said. I'm getting confused now...

BelleEpoque27 · 08/02/2026 23:31

Yup. Putin is using them (and other right-wing parties around the world) to destabilise the west
It's all Russian money.

Honestly, god help us all 🥺

Evidence please

I’d say it’s pretty obvious. But, let’s say it’s not correct, surely you can see why it would be in Russia’s favour for Reform to be voted in? Brexit was pretty good for them too.

TiredofLDN · 08/02/2026 23:39

I’ve had to stop reading them because it was doing my head in, but after the suggestions of abuse and sexual exploitation, the most eyebrow raising documents in the Epstein files for me were the Epstein/ Bannon conversations.

Bannon claiming he was the mastermind behind Johnson unseating May, and he may well have had a hand in Yaxley-Lennon’s racist rabble rousing, from allusions he made. Bannon also claiming he was involved in the French far right resurgence… that was just in 2 or 3 documents.

ItsNotOrwell · 08/02/2026 23:54

Yes indeed. Trump, too.

HopSpringsEternal · 09/02/2026 00:05

I can't believe people can't see through Reform.
Russia blatantly backed Brexit. A weak divided Europe is what Russia need.
Russia fiddled with the US elections. Trump fucking up the US power on the world stage benefits Russia hugely.
Russia have been doing propoganda since 1917. They are the masters. The internet is a gift for them.
Its not a conspiracy. There has been lots of evidence of Russia tampering in many elections.

The irony is, the people vulnerable to the far right love a good conspiracy theory. But they can’t see what’s in front of their own noses.

Teanbiscuits33 · 09/02/2026 00:19

Yes, there are several references to Brexit in the Epstein files, plus Trumps Plan for National Security document makes reference to wanting the EU to collapse.

They were colluding together to destroy Europe. It’s pretty obvious by now. It makes it much easier for them to meet their nefarious objectives. Anyone who has to request evidence at this point is either not paying attention or not too bright!

We’ve been absolutely swindled and we need to rejoin as soon as humanly possible for everybody’s sakes.

Teanbiscuits33 · 09/02/2026 00:28

The biggest irony of it all is that the same conspiracy theorists who banged on about a New Word Order during Covid were almost right! Except those theories were spread as a distraction by the actual conspirators.

It was them telling people that it was the government, doctors and scientists they shouldn’t trust, when all along it was project 2025 billionaires 🤣

These are the same bunch of idiots who now support Reform and MAGA even though they consider themselves to be of superior intelligence. It’s laughable.

And where do people like Mandelson who sold state secrets and helped Epstein with insider knowledge of No10 fit into this? There are so many references in the files to all manner of global events and powerful people from all sides of the political landscape.

Could it possibly be that no matter the rosette the big issue is power and corruption?

Mandelson was useful to the whole movement. He was obviously a right winger wearing a red rosette. I’m sure he isn’t the only one either

Farage has a cheek pointing fingers, they moved in the same circles!

Here they are having a lovely time together 🤣

Reform is funded by  Putin - wake up

Agree. The meddling by Russia into the Brexit vote barely registers.

Putin has exceptionally long-sighted political calculus, and the West has underestimated him again and again. Trump was/is a Russian installation. Europe is being remodelled by Russia's actions and interference. The New World Order has been underway for years. We're not going back, and it's extremely unsettling.

AnneBoleynsNecklace · 09/02/2026 01:29

Totally agree and the media are complicit too…

Ihavelostthegame · 09/02/2026 01:46

We need a big enquiry into Russian influence/ interference in our politics. Particularly in the Brexit referendum and funding of political parties although technically Reform is a company not a political party.

We are kidding ourselves if we think that there isn’t a significant amount of corruption in our politics and we urgently need to weed it out.

I do not understand how people are almost screaming for Starmer to resign over Mandelson’s appointment yet Farage is up to his neck in corruption. Farage is in the Epstein files multiple times yet he seems to have a free pass when it comes to media attention. Starmer has made some poor choices yes, but he is not in the same hemisphere as the likes of Farage, Trump and co. But he may well be brought down by this whilst the real culprits get a free pass. It makes my blood boil.

TooBigForMyBoots · 09/02/2026 01:50

YANBU @PeacePilgrim. Nigel Farage has been a Putin Puppet for a long time.
