Reform up against 'complainants' society', Farage tells BBC
Farage said the party is under constant investigation as Parliament’s standards commissioner reviews whether he declared a £5 million donation.
- Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces an upcoming interview with Parliament's standards commissioner regarding £5 million in funding, criticizing Wednesday's scrutiny by claiming the party operates within a "complainant society."
- Scrutiny centers on £5 million Farage received from Thailand-based British billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before the 2024 election; Farage insisted he took "strong legal advice" and the sum was personal, not political.
- Questions also emerged regarding support from ally George Cottrell and donations from his mother, Fiona Cottrell, as Farage suggested a "whole ecosystem" of the establishment attacks "new kids on the block."
- Ahead of Reform's conference in Birmingham, Farage acknowledged poll ratings are "down a bit" following by-election losses and plans to outline "fundamental changes" for his first 100 days in power.
- Regarding the 2029 general election, Farage vowed he would not place wealthy party backers in the House of Lords, arguing that Reform will not offer peerages to donors unlike traditional British politics.
