Farage Under Investigation for Undisclosed Support From Convicted Fraudster

Nigel Farage faces a parliamentary standards probe over financial support from George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster and occasional aide, who funded Farage's staff, security, housing, and US travel. Though Farage declared roughly £24,500 in donations from Cottrell, investigators are examining whether broader backing should have been registered under disclosure rules. The inquiry runs alongside a separate investigation into a £5 million gift from crypto entrepreneur Christopher Harborne. Reform UK denies any breach.
