Reform UK head of policy Zia Yusuf said the party’s former leader in Wales who was jailed for taking bribes “is a guy which, far as we’re concerned, is ancient history”.Nathan Gill was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years after he was paid £40,000 to make pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament.
00:00Why should we trust anything they say about Russia, given that one of their people took money from Russians?
00:07Well, I think that would be an incredibly unreasonable position to take.
00:10Look, Nathan Gill, what he did was treasonous.
00:13What he did was treasonous. It was horrific. It was awful.
00:18He's now been dealt with by the authorities. He deserves the sentence that he's gotten.
00:22But as you've just said, this is a guy, as far as we're concerned, is ancient history.
00:26I've never met him. I'd never heard of him, actually, until I saw his names, sadly, in the newspapers.
00:31I think it is unreasonable to besmirch everybody else at Reform, the millions of people around the country who support Nigel and support our party.
