And the only journalist to investigate Cottrell at the time of his sentencing, was a Westminster outsider Nico Hines for the Daily Beast…who found these strange links to the Russian laundromat.
This was published way back in 2018.

And there’s other troubling connections to both Cottrell & Farage..that were also completely ignored by r/w press.
Why did Andy Wigmore send Cottrell’s indictment to his contact in Russian embassy? And why did he lie to parliament about it?

The only politician to take it up? Gordon Brown.
He called Nigel Farage, the man of the PayPal.
But Electoral Commission’s hands were tied: the donations were under £500 limit. It was a legitimate route for dark, & potentially illegal & foreign funds to enter UK politics.

If it looks like money laundering & smells like money laundering I said at the time, maybe it is money laundering.
And then I found out a convicted money launderer was the Brexit Party treasurer.
Yet nothing was done. No uproar in the r/w press.

Meet Gemma Mattinson, one of the organisers of the "Pink Ladies." She claims she wants to protect women and girls.
In 2011, she and her then boyfriend, Ian Barclay, were jailed for child cruelty after being filmed forcing two children, both under the age of 8, to physically fight each other while they laughed.
A young girl was ordered to hit a boy with a broom and plastic sticks. When the boy tried to hide, he was dragged across the floor and slammed into a radiator.
They both pled guilty.
She was sentenced to 8 months in prison, and her ex received a 12-month sentence.
Now, she has rebranded herself and is targeting asylum seekers staying in hotels.

£22,500 an hour? When it comes to flogging gold, Farage is worth his weight in the stuff [quick scribbles on the back of an envelope] in less than half a day.
How much is he worth in visits to his constituency, though?

"The last set of Boris Johnson’s financial disclosures were to 30th May 2023, which recorded the eye-watering amount of over £ 6,000,000 received from October 2022 to April 2023."
Great work @JaneSmith13579
Just flicking through the channels. What an absolute joke the BBC now is 🙄. Is Zia Yusuf ever NOT on this programme? Same goes for Reform’s London Mayor candidate. This is blatant biased propaganda. Outrageous disproportionate platforming. #BBCQT@bbcquestiontime
Gent in white, "It's pathetic what's going on with Farage, people should not even contemplate having Farage in charge of the country"
Fiona Bruce, "Ok, but I know there are plenty of people in this audience who do support Nigel Farage"
I remember a time when #BBCQT was so much better than this
