Farage investigation likely to be concluded by end of year

​ANU Senior Lecturer Pat Leslie says the investigation into Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage will “likely” be concluded by the end of the year. ​“As he has resigned his post as an MP, the investigation has been suspended for now,” Mr Leslie told Sky News Australia. ​“It will very likely, assuming that he does prevail over Count Binface, continue once he’s back. ​“What can happen after that depends on the severity of the penalty decided. “The most likely outcome at this point is that he will be subject to a recall petition, which is if 10 per cent of the electors in a constituency sign a petition, then Nigel Farage will be recalled… and have to stand for another by-election.”
