Nigel Farage ‘still very popular’ despite scrutiny over funding
Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth discusses Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage’s heated exchange with a journalist after he was accused of receiving financial support from a criminal. “There have been a series of stories in here in the media in recent days that Nigel Farage, one of his closest allies, is a convicted criminal,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. Mr Farage has denied breaking any parliamentary rules, despite allegations George Cottrell paid for security, staff, and accommodation in the lead-up to the 2024 election. “He is still very popular here in the UK; Reform UK are doing very well in the polls. “There is some commentary that he’s taken a hit recently. “But he is pinned to be the country’s next prime minister when there is a general election.”
