🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage appears to have breached MP rules after failing to declare that convicted criminal George Cottrell paid for his staff, security and social media output before 2024 election

Nigel Farage is building a vast personal fortune - linked to gold, crypto, property and media.
But tensions are showing - and questions keep coming.
Will he have to choose between Farage Inc and Reform UK?

I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
🤣🤣How dare the media ask a party leader why he didn’t declare £5m bungs from crypto tycoons or homes he bought for cash while telling us he was ‘skint.’ Outrageous!
Nigel Farage is currently the man most likely to be PM after the election. Scrutiny is not "hounding"; the public have a right to know who's been paying politicians - and why.
If Farage had declared his £5m or five-house property portfolio, there would be nothing to disclose...
Reform UK is the party of ordinary working people. The sort of ordinary working people who get £5 million gifts from billionaires and earn £22,500 an hour for promoting gold bullion.
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage is facing questions after only two of the five homes he and his partner own, worth a combined £4m, are declared on his register of interests

NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent.
All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017.

I was the first person to reply to correct him - this was a Thatcher introduced law!
So he blocked me, hid all replies calling him out AND retweeted it himself🙄🙄🙄
Until recently Nigel Farage would have been able to shrug this sort of stuff off. But like I say, his forcefield isn't operating any more. So this is going to stick.
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage was paid £270,000 on 29 May to promote a London gold dealer
His register of interests shows he did 12 hours of work over three months, meaning £22,500 per hour
Latest on Burnham’s plans:
* As PM he will spend a minimum of a day a week in “No.10 North”
* He will not use No.10 as his main residence. His primary home will remain in the North West
* Senior advisors have already begun work on establishing the Northern Downing Street
