Summary
A donation in millions After seven unsuccessful attempts, Nigel Farage was finally elected in July 2024 in the electoral district of Clacton-on-sea, where more than three quarters of voters voted for Brexit in 2016. I decided it was up to the people of Clacton to judge my actions. A suspension of 10 days or more could have triggered a recall petition, potentially forcing him to fight for his Clacton seat at a time of someone else’s choosing.
Furthermore, New Members are expected to report any money received within 12 months of election, unless it is considered not to be related to political activities. The Reform UK leader received the money weeks before announcing he would stand as a candidate in the 2024 general election. For several weeks, the ex-heralt of Brexit has been in turmoil, struggling to explain why he did not declare important gifts received from rich supporters shortly before his election as a member in 2024.
In addition, Nigel Farage proposed that Reform UK take over the organisation of the election. The far right MP, in growing popularity in the polls, is already targeted by an inquiry by Parliament into the rules of transparency, an investigation now suspended by his resignation, but which could resume if he is re-elected.
