Farage denies rules broken #nigelfarage #farage #reform #reformparty #news #epochlens

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 57s

"Nigel Farage's spokesman has denied fresh allegations the reform UK leader may have broken parliamentary rules. After reports the MP failed to declare benefits provided by an ally. Farage is already facing a parliamentary probe over a £5 million gift from a billionaire. Reform UK donor which was not registered. He has argued that money was for personal security and was not political because it was received when he was not involved in politics. His team have made a similar argument for why the in-kind non-cash benefits allegedly from Cottrell were not registered. Under parliamentary rules new MPs must declare financial interests and registrable benefits received in the 12 months before their election. The guidelines say purely personal gifts or benefits do not need to be registered. When he became an MP, Farage registered a £9,253 trip to Belgium in April 2024 donated by Cottrell and later added a £15,276 donation from Cottrell for a US domestic flight he provided in December 2024. No other support from Kotel is listed in the register of members' financial interests. A Labour Party spokesperson said Nigel Farage and Reform are engulfed in a huge and growing scandal."
