Must Watch
Nigel Farage is a private school-educated City trader being bankrolled by a convicted fraudster, a crypto billionaire who gave him £5m in secret, and offshore networks he gets paid £40,000 to speak to — the same networks that help the ultra-wealthy avoid the taxes that pay for your NHS, your schools and your roads. He earns more in one hour than you earn in a year. He has five properties. When Parliament tried to hold him to account, he quit his seat to make the investigation stop. The system has ignored working people for decades. Nigel just figured out he could get very, very rich from your anger about it.

Farage — In The News
Farage resigns as MP to trigger “people vs establishment” by-election — and suspend two Standards investigations
Facing two concurrent Parliamentary Standards investigations, Farage resigned as MP on July 7, triggering a by-election on August 13. Investigations pause during a vacancy and resume only if he wins. Every main party boycotted the election — Labour called it a “desperate stunt,” Badenoch a “hissy fit,” Davey his “latest attempt to escape consequences.” On the same day, the £5m Harborne gift was reported to the NCA by bankers under anti-money laundering rules. Count Binface is the highest-profile opponent.

Metropolitan Police are investigating two £250,000 donations to Reform UK made by Fiona Cottrell in May 2024 — mother of George “Posh George” Cottrell, Farage’s closest ally and convicted fraudster who served 8 months after an FBI sting. Two people interviewed under caution. Separately, ∼£1m from Fiona Cottrell to Richard Tice’s company was referred to the NCA by bankers — the origin of the funds could not be traced. Fiona Cottrell is described as of “relatively modest means” yet has given £1.75m to Reform and connected vehicles.

George Cottrell — grandson of a baron, expelled from Malvern College for gambling, arrested alongside Farage in 2016 in an FBI dark-web money-laundering sting — allegedly provided Farage with security, social media staff, his £1.5m I’m A Celebrity deal, and Buckingham Palace-area accommodation, almost none of it declared.

In September 2025, Farage told the US Congress the UK had become “North Korea” for prosecuting social media posts, championing Lucy Connolly — sentenced to 31 months for tweeting that people should “set fire to hotels” housing asylum seekers — as a victim of “two-tier policing.” In July 2026, after a man was arrested for posting “I am going to shoot you in the head” at Farage on X, he welcomed the arrest and called for police to investigate “three or four hundred similar posts.” The legal basis for both prosecutions is identical. The only difference is who the target is.

Labour MP Phil Brickell filed a formal complaint on July 2, 2026 alleging Farage breached the 12-month lobbying restriction. Eight months after a £25,000 Harborne donation, Farage privately urged Bank of England Governor Bailey to scrap the digital pound and drop £20,000 stablecoin caps. Harborne holds ∼12% of Tether. The Bank subsequently dropped the cap. Farage claimed credit. He also bought £2m of Bitcoin personally in April 2026.

Farage made a rare appearance at PMQs to exploit the Henry Nowak tragedy, while even Kemi Badenoch echoed the healing tone adopted by the rest of the House. Starmer’s response was withering — the whole chamber, bar six Reform MPs, stood united against Farage’s attempt to foster division.

In around March 2018, Steve Bannon was texting Jeffrey Epstein describing a coordinated plan to knit together populist nationalist movements across Europe, explicitly naming Farage alongside Orbán, Le Pen, Salvini and the AfD.
