Nigel Farage said he has “done no wrongdoing” after it emerged he did not declare benefits provided by an ally once convicted of fraud in the US.
George Cottrell’s support included security and social media staff who worked on Farage’s online content in the year before he was elected. It also claims Farage used a property rented by Cottrell near Buckingham Palace.
The Reform UK leader responded by insisting he “followed the rules” and also claimed he is the victim of an “establishment hit job”.
Liberal Democrat MP Josh Babarinde has asked the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate, telling that Farage needs to be “straight with the British people”.
