Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
The Liberal Democrats have formally requested that the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) investigate Nigel Farage's claims that his phone was hacked. Farage, the Reform UK leader, alleges his device was compromised, leading to the exposure of a £5 million gift from a Thailand-based billionaire that he wished to keep confidential. MPs are also calling for Farage to be blocked from Whitehall's wifi and restricted from contacting ministers and officials amid growing security concerns.
