Here is Nigel Farage claiming to @TeleriGlynJones that he’s the only senior figure in Reform who has ever met Gill. And here is Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice introducing Gill in glowing terms.

I would have liked to ask some questions of the actual Caerphilly by-election candidate too. But Llŷr Powell (who used to work for Gill) wouldn't take any at his own campaign event. Here's my full piece

I also read Farage's own quotes about bribe-taker Nathan Gill back to him: "I have worked closely with Nathan Gill as leader of Ukip Wales. I have always found him to be hard-working, honest, and loyal." (Zia Yusuf played down Farage's links to Gill last night on Question Time)

I asked Nigel Farage why his party has been calling Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy a "waste" of £55m on "asylum seekers" given that more than £45m of it has gone towards helping Ukrainian refugees, a cause he claims to support.

When we caught a rogue employer in a sting, his direct sales career looked over. Yet he turned up in a new office that exploited people using the same playbook. Questions for regulators and clients like ScottishPower that keep working with these people.

... sales reps progress to higher levels depending on how many people they recruit. Multi-level marketing is notorious for reps falling into financial difficulty and resorting to desperate attempts to sign up their own loved ones.

The coroner found Gareth’s care “was sub-optimal for a number of reasons, including the impact of being cared for outside the main critical care unit” She’s sent a scathing report to Cardiff and Vale health board warning of more deaths unless there is change at the hospital.
