🔥 **Political Drama Unfolds in Caerphilly By-Election!** 🔥
Reform UK candidate Llŷr Powell is making headlines with his fiery response to questions about the bribery scandal involving his former boss, Nathan Gill. During a recent interview, Powell passionately distanced himself from Gill, who admitted to accepting bribes to promote Russia while serving as a Member of the European Parliament.
Powell, aiming to become the first Reform politician elected to Cardiff Bay, slammed opponents for attempting to tarnish his reputation. “It’s really low to link me to Nathan’s actions,” he argued. “I knew absolutely nothing about his crimes, and it was an act of betrayal. If he’s guilty, he should face the full weight of the law.”
The Reform candidate didn’t hold back when expressing his frustration over being connected to scandals involving other public figures, like Huw Edwards. “Why aren’t other parties questioned about their own members’ wrongdoings?” he asked defiantly.
Powell, who was a caseworker for Gill during his time in European politics, is now locked in a legal tussle with the Labour Party. He’s accused them of trying to “smear” his name and has issued a legal letter over ads tying him to Russia.
The Reform party drama doesn’t end there. Reform leader Nigel Farage was caught in a false claim about being the only senior figure to have met Gill. In reality, both the deputy leader Richard Tice and chairman David Bull had close ties to the former MEP.
Stay tuned as the Caerphilly by-election heats up, with Powell fighting to keep his name clear and his campaign on track! 🗳️🔥
