I wonder whether this is finally the beginning go the end for Farage and by extension his company Reform? On can only hope that a >10 days suspension and a recall petition will send him scuttling to wherever he thinks his money is safe.

From the first link Photo of Farage with the text Nigel Farage 'secretly funded by convicted criminal' NIGEL Farage received financial benefits from a convicted criminal in the year before entering Parliament, potentially breaking MPs’ rules by failing to declare them, it has been reported. Long-time aide George Cottrell provided funding for the Reform UK leader’s operation, including for staffing, security and housing, according to The Sunday Times. The newspaper said Cottrell recruited and paid three staff to work on Farage’s social media before the General Election, and has continued to allow him to use a five-storey Georgian townhouse he rented near Buckingham Palace.

From the second link, a photograph of Farage and his criminal funder with the text Nigel Farage did not declare gifts from crypto entrepreneur convicted of fraud Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick says Farage accepted staff, security and accommodation from George Cottrell before becoming an MP Nigel Farage did not declare gifts and benefits provided by a crypto entrepreneur who has previously been convicted of fraud, Reform’s economic spokesperson has admitted. Robert Jenrick said on Sunday that the Reform leader had accepted staff, security and accommodation from George Cottrell, but claimed they were personal gifts provided before he became an MP and so did not need to be declared. Jenrick’s comments came after the Sunday Times revealed Cottrell, who was convicted of wire fraud in the US, had hired social media staff for Farage and allowed him to stay in his townhouse near Buckingham Palace.
