*Independent Media here, means journalism that is free from government or corporate interests, but not necessarily free from bias. The independence of a news outlet can be hard to determine, so please use your best judgment.

*Current depends on the subject, its relevance today, and whether there's new publicly available information since the article has been published. As long as posts fit the spirit of this community, moderation will be lax.

The first thing most people recall about Nathan Gill is his imposing height.

At 193cm (6ft 4in), the one-time Reform UK leader in Wales towered over colleagues and opponents – and he was taller still in his favourite cowboy boots.

Other than that, the softly-spoken 52-year-old was a largely unremarkable presence among the more colourful characters in Nigel Farage’s parties.

Until recently, political profiles have dwelt on Gill’s politically quirky status: the teetotal member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who bore Ukip’s flag in the Senedd, even if opponents charged that he was often absent.

Yet his legacy is now a very different and disturbing one. This month he will be sentenced at the Old Bailey after pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia during his tenure as a member of the European parliament.
