Farage Does Not Want You Talking About His Donations

Nigel Farage has been caught threatening a Sky News reporter who was asking questions about his undeclared finances at an airport. The Reform leader has been referred to the standards watchdog in connection to the £5m gift he received from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, while the the Electoral Commission has been urged to investigate donations he received from convicted criminal George Cottrell. On Novara Live, Ash Sarkar argues that the £270,000 that Farage earned through advertising gold bullion might sit within the same category. Why would a business spend so much money on adverts that she says “nobody seems to watch”?
