This story links into a much wider story involving corruption both within and outwith Malta.

I shall attach a thread from last December. And I shall also attach a thread from @Turloughc who has tracked associations of people within the story with Farage.
Here is my thread on an interview towards the end of last year.
And here is @Turloughc thread.

I was interested to discover that Farage’s/EDFF aide, Kevin Ellul-Bonici, who was thought to be a Russian asset in promoting literature from the Russian Embassy in the EU Parliament, had been an Inspector in the Maltese Economic Crimes Unit.
I see that a critical arrest was made yesterday of someone who has been suspected of bribing officials very close to Prime Minister Muscat.
This investigation is also being linked to the Daphne Galizia murder investigation

The UK’s intelligence agencies were aware that Donald Trump may have been compromised by the Kremlin but Theresa May’s Gov – including then-foreign secretary Boris Johnson – chose not to pursue the matter for fear of offending the US president, a new book claims.

#S&IReport
They knew.

They knew.

The politicians refused to act. As they are now #RussianReport
Simpson said Russian influence had wholly “compromised” the British political establishment. “There is a wilful blindness and determination to look the other way. ....
.......No-one in power wants to have that conversation,” he warned.”

“
Hill had been the top Russia expert in the White House, a senior director of the national security council (NSC), but the president seems to have been only vaguely aware of her importance, mistaking her early on for a secretary. “

Of course he did.

And a very handy little clip via the excellent @shady_inf0 spelling out the difference between Trump’s attorney, Giuliani and HIS interventions in Ukraine issue compared to Bush and Obama’s attornies who she did not even know

Then Firtash.

My my.

As if we have not been blessed enough with Royal Family benefits this week with Prince Andrew, now we seee unfold before us the “benefits” of the Toey Party having Camilla Parker Bowles’ nephew, Ben Elliott as Tory Party co-chair and fundraiser.

Buy elections too.
A bit more about Ben Elliott here.

But, apart from the Quintessential Group of companies he also owns Hawthorne Associates that helped Lord Barker, Chair of Deripaska’s EN+, get the EN/Deripaska Mueller sanctions lifted in the USA.

How proud they all just be.
Just seen this. The gap is even bigger than the article and thread suggest because the Tories ALSO received c £4mill in under the limit small donations in the same period Labour received £1m.

A few days ago, I promised to tell this story. Been procrastinating for a while, so let's get to it. #thread
So, my mentor was pursuing his PhD at the Obafemi Awolowo University a while back & one day, since he had an hour to burn before class, he took a stroll around the campus. He ended up at the zoo just about the time the zookeepers were preparing to fee the python. He asked to see.
He followed the zookeepers to the python's cage and there he saw the snake coiled up on the tree in the cage. It didn't move. Not even when the zookeepers threw in the live fat hen into the cage. For a few seconds, the hen was oblivious to the presence of Mr Python. Life was rosy

How best can Kenya regulate online sports betting? Is it through shutting them down abruptly? Let us have a sober discussion about this subject. Currently, people are just driven by emotions with a mob justice mentality.
Kenya cannot purport to be running away from online betting. That is like trying to run away from technology and change. With the explosion in smartphones and the internet, Kenyans gamers can access different betting sites by the click of the button both within and without Kenya.
We are not having a sober discussion about betting. Some are talking about tax compliance while some are talking about its moral effects. Those supposed to have a sober discussion are being driven by emotions and not logic thinking. Should we regulate betting by taxing them more?

What if I told you that this OPM aide’s tweet (location & time stamp) demonstrates that during #tailsend, @michelle_muscat either (a) outswam not only @MichaelPhelps sprinting but a shark at a steady 9 kph for a gruelling 9 km or (b) cut her 14 km swim short (by ~7 km)? #talltale
Hope that caught your attention. This thread will sum up the evidence that @Michelle_muscat’s claim that she swam 14 kilometres for #tailsend is absolute rubbish that deserves to be framed alongside Kim Jong Il’s claim he invented the hamburger. 2/
In case you are wondering why this deserves attention, after all Michelle did claim she swam 14 km “for charity”, I have one word for you - truth.

You should always defend it or the lies tend to add up. 3/
