GB News host Patrick Christys says Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage’s critics have not yet been able to provide a “smoking gun” to prove him guilty of any wrongdoing. “He has revealed a series of very high-profile and very serious threats to his life, and he’s going to need security for the rest of his life,” Mr Christys told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “What people who are criticising him over this have not yet been able to do is provide a smoking gun in terms of what did Nigel do for the money other than spend it on security. “Five million quid is a lot of money, but Nigel Farage is a very unique kind of guy; he has made a lot of friends along the way, and there are a lot of people with a lot of money out there who do like him and are willing to help support him in his personal life.”
