      No shit, this guy lies more than Boris Johnson, and that is impressive.

      They seem me grifting, they hating.

      This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg with this guy. He is the most easily bought fool we have had in politics, prepare for a lot more scandals.

      Wait a minute Nigel Farage is lying? I am shocked he almost never does that.

      Yet my purchase of a house for TEN TIMES LESS a few years back got held up for ages due to anti-money laundering regulations, over £11k I had in an ISA, for years, in my own name.

      Long may this scrutiny continue, turn up the heat. Could HMRC have a peek too that would be interesting.

      Wonder what his excuse will be now.

      I could have told you that and I’m not an investigative journalist

      Nigel Farage not being honest about his income and finances quell surprise.

      It’s amazing what people will do to get a Coutts account.

      Seriously though Reform are just chocked full of shady business dealings and brown envelopes.

      This is brilliant. It’s like Johnson all over again.

      1. You leak a story and get a denial.

      2. You release your first bit of dodgy evidence and get a first lie that tries to explain what’s been presented. Let the story brew and the story to grow.

      3. You release the “you lied again” evidence to get a second change of story. Let that brew.

      4. You release the full receipts destroying them.

      I am very shocked about this latest revelation from an honest man of the people.

    10. Very predictable, just because he had access to the funds, doesn’t mean that he would have bought the house without the £5m donation.

      Sadly, this will be enough for his followers, and it will detract from the real story of political income.

    11. Hard to believe that this former city broker might really be a self-serving greedy fucker. 

    12. > In response, a Reform spokesperson said anti-money laundering checks on the house purchase had been carried out in March, before Mr Farage received the gift from Mr Harborne, adding: “Nigel has multiple sources of income, as you can see from his *parliamentary register.*”

      In January.

      > Reform UK leader Nigel Farage breached MPs’ rules 17 times by failing to register financial interests totalling £384,000 within the 28-day limit, the parliamentary commissioner for standards has ruled.

      LOL.

    13. This is the same cunt that wants to get rid of the NHS. WHY would anyone vote for him? Utter scum.

      Any news on what religion the Pope is?

      Farage’s excuse changed so many times in a week that there is no way he is telling the truth. Besides, Farage has a renowned history for lying. It just hubris for him to think he would not get found out for that reason. If he makes a statement (on anything) then there will be legions of people out there looking to prove him wrong or to find out how he is lying. He is no chance of getting away with anything and he needs to give up on the lies. Besides, he is bulletproof with respect to his voters, so it is not like he needs to hide behind lies with them either.

      Farage is a clone of TRUMP racist liar and con man not to be trusted and only out for himself

      This isn’t the US. Need to show these clowns that Donnie’s lies won’t work here.
