Summary
Nigel Farage has said he will “make a statement on my future in public life”, as he faces intense scrutiny over financial support given to him by a convicted fraudster, and a £5 million gift from a Reform UK donor. Critics have said that this should have been declared under Parliamentary rules in place at the time of Mr Farage's election in 2024, under which new MPs were required to register any gifts worth more than £300 they received in the previous 12 months, except where the gift 'could not be reasonably thought by others' to relate to their political activities. Mr Cottrell reportedly recruited and paid three staff to work on Mr Farage's social media before the general election, and has continued to allow him to use a five-storey Georgian property he rented near Buckingham Palace.
Furthermore, The party also questioned whether Montenegro-based Mr Cottrell was a permissible donor, claiming it was not clear whether he was on a UK electoral register at the time. Mr Farage reacted angrily when asked whether it had been a mistake not to declare the gifts, saying: 'You tell your bosses, you harass my family any more… serious consequences. Go away.' Sky said it had not contacted anyone from Mr Farage's family about the story.
