Anyone know why @Nigel_Farage and his fellow MEPs voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda? Coincidently, it was around the time Nathan Gill was taking bribes from Russia. theguardian.com/world/2019/oct…

And there's Farage's legal but blatantly cynical and unpatriotic scam of avoiding 2nd home tax by getting his wife to buy his home in Clacton, even though he claimed he had bought it.

I don’t normally get involved in calling out headlines but it’s just getting bonkers. If this was directed at a gender, race or religion it would be rightly called out as the hate speech it is. Mums, dads, sons and daughters being labelled as killers. It’s just got to stop.

Her question to @ipsaUK concerned whether a speeding ticket incurred during the course of parliamentary duties could be claimed on expenses. Rather embarrassed, the representatives from @ipsaUK said no.

Hi @ReadingCouncil as @Adele_Thames doesn't wish to engage me on this topic perhaps you can pass on my concerns to someone that can look into this? Thanks

Hi @Adele_Thames as lead for leisure & culture is there anything you can do to relocate the bottle banks at prospect park? The current positioning means that people on the road coming from carpark or mansion house cannot see if anyone is emerging on to the crossing. (1/2)
