David Griffin at Travel Counsellors

We have dealt with David Griffin at Travel Counsellors for the past 6 months and couldn't fault him or the service. He is approachable, patient, adaptable and generally great at his job! We will be using David at Travel Counsellors for all our future holiday bookings, no doubt. We also found the My TC app very useful for tracking holidays/payments. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Donna Bidwell outstanding service

I can not recommend Donna Bidwell and Travel Counsellors highly enough! Donna spends so much time making sure the holiday she books is absolutely perfect, often getting extras such as upgrades which you wouldn’t otherwise get. Also on one of our holidays our plane had to be diverted which meant we missed our next two connections. Donna had everything rearranged while we were still in the air so we still reached our destination. Attention to detail and first class service is outstanding.

I have always used Travel Counsellors, specifically Lisa McDonald. She is brilliant at what she does and really puts everything into consideration when looking for a holiday.

She has guided me through every step and made me feel looked after. I wouldn’t book through anyone else, any problems and they are sorted without having to worry. Totally recommend using Travel Counsellors!

I’ve only been able to use the services of Travel Counsellors once so far, having not travelled much recently, but have to say the service provided by Emma Savage was excellent.

NV obtains new photos and videos of the elimination of traitorous ex-MP Ilya Kyva near Moscow

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Photos and videos of the elimination of pro-Russian ex-MP Ilya Kyva in a Moscow suburb were obtained by NV from sources in Ukraine’s SBU Security Service on Dec. 11.

This special operation was meticulously planned and successfully executed, the SBU informant confirmed.

In one imgae, Kyva's lifeless body can be seen in the snow surrounded by bloodstains. The location where “deserved punishment awaited the traitor” is near the place that Kyva filmed many anti-Ukrainian videos, sources say.

Kyva was a high-priority target, SBU said. His daily routines, movements, and habits were extensively studied in the operation. Despite strong security, the SBU managed to eliminate him just outside Moscow.

“This [Kyva’s elimination] serves as a signal to all traitors and military criminals who have sided with the enemy. Remember: Russia will not protect you. Death is the only prospect awaiting enemies of Ukraine,” SBU Chief Vasyl Malyuk said.

Ukraine’s SBU eliminated Kyva in a special operation in Moscow Oblast on Dec. 6, said NV sources in the intelligence service.

Kyva's “bloodied body”, discovered with a shot through the head, was found in the park of an elite club hotel in the Moscow region on Dec.6, Russian propaganda Telegram channels reported.

Kyva was shot with an unidentified firearm and died from the injuries on the scene, the Russian Investigative Committee claimed.

Kyva had fled to Spain ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion. He then appeared in Russian propaganda broadcasts in Moscow, actively spreading lies about Ukraine. Kyva also sought “political asylum” and citizenship from the enemy aggressor.

The Ukrainian parliament stripped Kyva of his MP status in March 2022, charging him with treason. He was additionally charged with publicly calling for a violent change in the constitutional order and propaganda on behalf of the aggressor state in Aug. 2023.
