Apologies for the Mail link! Trump isn’t returning his calls, now Putin is hacking his phone.

In order to help reduce waiting times, the FSB has agreed to help the UK government carry out vetting checks for MPs and other elected officials.

So the *Gift* is not the issue, rather how it was revealed?
Reminds you of how Trump is trying to hide the Epstien fallout.

Why would Russia hack the phone of one of their assets? He even used to be employed by the Russian government. He’s talking shite.

I have doubts over wether this is true. However if it is, then the apology from the guardian is going to possibly be one of the funniest things imaginable.

He’s in the shit suddenly so it’s “Oh please pity me”

Potentially true, the MAGAsphere does seem to cooled on him a little, maybe they’ve lost patience with him and want to parachute in another shill🤷♂️

Ignoring the Russian link, who cares who leaked it. It’s still a £5m bung.

He is not sorry he took a bribe, he is just sorry we found out.

Why would they leak this information when they could use it to blackmail him? The only situation I could think of would be if he had something much _worse_ going on and they leaked this as a warning shot.

Poor Nige, first he upset his handlers in Washington DC which resulted in Trump boycotting him when Farage went on his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago a couple of months ago… and now he’s upset his handlers in Moscow 😢
CaptMelonfish on
So he’s saying he didn’t want us to find out? Well that makes it all better for sure…

Even if true*, that’s just an excellent reason why we don’t want senior politicians who try to conceal enormous sums of money given to them. It makes them vulnerable to blackmail by hostile states.
*Not that I think it is true. Lying is his standard way to get our of trouble. When criticised for not holding surgeries, he lied that he’d been instructed not to. When criticised for not doing vetting properly, he said he would sue the company that had stitched him up. That was a lie. He didn’t even do anything to improve vetting.

Bit of a betrayal then isn’t it Nigel… Or maybe thats the plan… guys a Russian Shill ffs.

And this is the fool some of you want as PM?
The stories get more tall by the fucking day……

“Hey I was dishonest but I have been wronged by the person who found out about it”, is pretty typical of a narcissist.

What a very strange way of trying to garner public sympathy!?
This is 100% pure distraction, which strongly suggests they are panicking because they know they’ve fucked up.
ItsFuckingScience on
Funny how right now there’s headline articles in the U.K. sub one about how Burnham is linked to building on green belt (shock horror) and the other is Farage receiving millions of pounds of dodgy money
Politicians all bad as one another though am I right? /s
TheChattyRat on
Ahh well he’s a national security threat if his corruption can be outed by a foreign state so easy so he can forget about being pm.
cedarvhazel on
Oh so it should have remained a secret and Farrage is upset you got “hacked” but the bribe is ok?
Disillusioned_Pleb01 on
So… how many more gifts have been received, but not leaked or reported??
limeflavoured on
What bollocks. He’s just trying anything to take the heat off the fact that he took £5m off a cryto billionaire
