Farage Admits He Wanted His Job Back Earlier Than He Said, Putting £5m Gift Disclosure in Doubt

Nigel Farage admitted he discussed returning as Reform UK leader in spring 2024, contradicting his earlier claim he had no political plans until June. He used that claim to argue a £5m gift from investor Christopher Harborne need not be disclosed under rules requiring new MPs to report gifts received within a year of election. A paused inquiry may now resume.
