Hannah Spencer vs Reform: 'The Maths Is Not Maths-ing'

What could be funnier than the idea that Nigel Farage is an honest man? On Newsnight, Green party MP Hannah Spencer faced off against Reform's candidate for London mayor Laila Cunningham – and laughed at the suggestion that Farage has been "very honest" amid a scandal over an undeclared £5m gift. Spencer said Farage’s decision to trigger and then stand in a new byelection – which he has presented as a referendum on his character amid allegations of wrongdoing – will be bad for his constituents. "What it does is it throws people in that constituency, who are already struggling, like so many people in the country, into further turmoil," Spencer said.
