Farage Faces Funding Scrutiny Over Fraudster

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces scrutiny for failing to declare benefits, including security and housing, provided by convicted fraudster George Cottrell.

A parliamentary standards probe has been urged, while the party insists no rules were broken.

Farage claimed he is the victim of an 'establishment hit job' and insisted he had committed no wrongdoing.

The controversy tests his populist brand as another far-right party, Restore Britain, gains ground.
