Standard reform wouldn’t be reform if not under investigation
Who is paying him off this time? We know the traitor will take any money.
For what? Bribes? Insider trading? Saying he was English? Because now a days, you can be arrested and thrown into jail for saying you’re English?
Ask to see his browser history too!
He’ll say he has done absolutely nothing wrong and it’s either:
A) Deep State trying to take him down
B) Woke activists running the Parliamentary Watchdog trying to take him down
C) Both of the above
>A probe has been opened into the “registration of an interest”.
>
>Nigel Farage told The Independent the inquiry was opened following a complaint from a member of the House of Lords, but added: “It is not to do with any undeclared income”.

>.. The investigation was opened on July 28, according to the commissioner’s official website, and is under paragraph 5 of the code of conduct.

>This says that “members must fulfil conscientiously the requirements of the House in respect of the registration of interests in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. New members must register all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits (other than earnings) received in the 12 months before their election within one month of their election, and members must register any change in those registrable interests within 28 days.”

interesting, so if I sent a blowup doll as a gift, he’d have to register it.
Farage up to something dodgy ? Never !

Don’t worry it was just an oversight. There is precedent don’t you know.
TBF I wouldn’t care if he was taking actual bribes as long as he destroys the Labour party and stops the boats.
Imprison and or exile the guy. No press, no platform, just get rid before we have pound shop Trump…
This is a really bad look for the government, it’s less than 24 hours after a senior official flat out called Farage and anyone opposed to the OSA pedophiles and then after Farage demands an apology the government slaps him with this
Even more damaging is this also happens after the government official who said it is summoned by a Trump official to explain his actions over the OSA which genuinely makes it look like this is retaliation
Say what you want about Farage but this is just continued terrible optics by the government
They barely ever punish any MP.
It’s not in any of their interests really, if they find anything there is always the opportunity to put it right and nothing more will be done.
These days if you say you’re English, you’re thrown in jail
Labour knows they can’t win the 2029 election legitimately so will try every dirty trick in the book to undermine reform
Can’t be bothered to pursue the story through the “privacy” saga but good in general and I won’t be holding my breath though.
He doesn’t want people to know he is a millionaire working for the billionaires. I can’t believe some people think he is a working class man
‘Member of House of Lords raises mild administrative complaint’
Whilst I think Farage is a Crook who cares little about his constituents or bettering the lives of the people, this just looks like the government going after a political opponent for disagreeing with the online safety act and being a political threat.
Terrible optics because nobody cares about details and will only listen to what he says on the matter.
Funny how you don’t hear of any other mp’s under investigation.
Hmm, that was quicker than I expected.
Not unexpected by any means though.
Is it for being a cunt? Has he claimed it’s a witch hunt yet?
And if (when?) they find any wrong doing, I am sure that they will write him a very sternly phrased letter.
But calling someone, and the general public for that matter, a nonce, because they disagree with a hideously overreaching Act, gets…nothing done against?
He’s going to be the next PM and there’s nothing Labour can do about it lol.
fgs! won’t *somebody* ask Sunak why he (wrongly and illegally) stepped in on the private bank scandal. Why was it SO important for old nige to keep that account….?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they found nothing on him. The timing of this almost feels like they want stop any momentum he’s built in past few days by saying he’d remove the act.
This labour government feels wrong… Something is just starting to feel not right about it.
Interesting but I can’t imagine much happening given that it’ll open up a can of worms into everyone else and previous issues.
Did they ever do anything about the Tories wasting tax payer money on friends and families companies during covid?
Also can’t help but think this is going to be spun into big parliament wanting to silence him now because he’s ‘popular’ and recently mocked the terrible Internet ID policy. They should have done this just after the election when he hadn’t spent the past 6 months talking about how the government where scared of him.
Also the house of Lords questioning anyone’s morals and income seems…amusing.
