Good to see the Farage crypto chancer getting the scrutiny he has long deserved. His Brexit lies have inflicted billions of losses on the UK economy, damaged ties with our closest neighbours & weakened our influence around the world. Now he cannot explain a dodgy £5 million gift that exposes the rivalries & loathing inside Reform.
