Nigel Farage ‘should face parliament investigation over funding allegations’ thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Where are we this morning? George Cottrell’s lawyers acknowledged he paid for Nigel Farage’s staff and security. He did so via electronic transfer from bank accounts in his name. On the townhouse, they said their client “does, and did” let Farage stay there. Farage has sought to dismiss both. On failing to declare funding for operation, he said he didn’t need to: he wasn’t a politician at the time. On failing to declare use of house, he said he didn’t need to: Cottrell is a friend, so it is exempt. Sources close to him are also downplaying this dimension generally, saying stays extremely infrequent. The parliamentary rules say any benefit exceeding £300 in value that is not “purely personal” — ie romantic partner or family — and is in any way related to an MP’s “political activities” must be declared. This includes the 12 months before a new MP’s election.

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage is alleged to have breached parliamentary rules by failing to declare that convicted criminal George Cottrell funded his staff, security, and social media operations ahead of the 2024 election

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has been referred to the Parliamentary Standards Commission after allegedly failing to declare funding from convicted criminal George Cottrell

Reform UK said: "It comes as no surprise that The Sunday Times has chosen to publish this baseless and contrived story, covering a period of time when Nigel Farage was not even an active politician, let alone an elected one, given that the newspaper backed the Labour Party at the last general election. Contrary to the story’s tone, no parliamentary rules have been broken. We also understand The Sunday Times has a new podcast to promote, which it seems very excited about. Its agenda should be plain for all to see" Story: thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
