EXCL: The £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money - another big scoop by our @Annaisaac
https://t.co/hg41X5dwpr
The Sunday Times has already reported that:
- Richard Tice's company broke the law by failing to pay at least £90k in tax
- That his shell companies failed to pay £100k of tax, benefitting his firm, which donated to Reform
- That he used a loophole to avoid £600k
He furiously denounced our reporting: now it transpires the web of companies was involved in transactions with George Cottrell and Cottrell's mother, who, we reported in our piece on Sunday, described herself in legal documents as a "retired stylist" - and has made £750,000 of donations to Reform.
Farage said his car brakes had been tampered with - didn't happen
His house was firebombed - didn't happen
Parliament security told him not to hold surgeries - didn't happen
His phone was hacked - didn't happen
Etc, etc....
Just fyi @Nigel_Farage "Leveson" (1) has still not been implemented for national press and (2) would increase protections for public interest, investigative journalism. If we had "Leveson" we wld see less intruding into bereaved families and more investigations into powerful politicians. Not sure if that's what you're after
The mistress, the friend and the colleague:
‘He is a narcissist, people are disposable to him.. his way or no way.’
‘He is ruthless, an operator who axes all critics.’
‘A preposterous mountebank, turned the party into a cult.’
The real Nigel Farage….
#C4News's full report into the latest dodgy gifts/donations to Nigel Farage
At 2m16s Robert Jenrick has a meltdown when asked if there's anything else Nigel Farage has failed to declare
I do wonder if there’s a point in this story at which the British press take a moment to remember that Nigel Farage’s last main funder sued one of their number in the High Court for investigating him..& they said fuck all & did fuck all
A multimillion £ "gift" is nobody's business, yet a pair of spectacles are "on the take" and are of national interest.
The king of hypocrisy "do as I say, not as I do"
As a woman and a mum, I find the rise of Reform deeply troubling.
They'd scrap the Equality Act and other rights that protect women from discrimination and harassment.
That's why I've launched #Women2Win. Join me in standing up for women's rights.
