Interference in British politics

Sunderland Echo

|

November 27, 2025

Keir Starmer has urged Nigel Farage to investigate possible Russian influence inside Reform UK after its former Welsh leader Nathan Gill was convicted of taking Kremlin-linked bribes.

But is it realistic to expect Mr Farage to lead such an inquiry?

His past praise of Vladimir Putin and appearances on Moscow-funded media hardly inspire confidence. A US congressman once called him “a Putin-loving, free-speech impostor and Trump sycophant”.

Reform UK is a new party, and Gill's offending predates its formation. However, Mr Farage and Gill sat together as UKIP and later Brexit Party MEPs.
