Nigel Farage faces four investigations over undeclared benefits from convicted fraudster aide
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, is facing up to four separate investigations into his finances following allegations that convicted fraudster George Cottrell ("Posh George") provided undeclared benefits — including staffing, security, and housing — before Farage was elected as MP for Clacton in 2024. The Sunday Times reported that Cottrell recruited and paid three staff to work on Farage's social media ahead of the general election. The growing scandal raises the threat of a by-election if Farage is found to have breached parliamentary rules.
