This is the kind of conspiracy theory I like.

He’s going for plausible deniability by coming out with the ‘no rules have been broken’ line. Press are starting to get on Farage’s back a bit at last and Lib Dem’s are pushing for it to be investigated by Parliament.

Jenrick’s defence of the latest Farage scandal is really helping.
"Nigel Farage is allowed to have friends, as a politician you're allowed to stay at a friend's house, and certainly remember Nigel was not an elected politician. He was, if you like, an ex-politician at the time."
"You're allowed to accept a gift, support, whatever you want to call it, from a personal friend before you're a Member of Parliament if it's in a purely personal capacity.”
Well that defence didn’t work for Andrew Windsor. Let’s hope it doesn’t work for Farage.

Sounds like fraudster Cottrell knows just how Farage works and who counts asa 'friend'. This is from his book on money laundering.

Worcester News reports that Cottrell was a student at Malvern College, a rather expensive private school in Malvern. He was expelled for being involved in illegal gambling. Men of the people, innit.

If that is real, then it’s very damaging

I doubt the people that support reform read the papers that are reporting this. When Farage says that no one cares, what he means is that the people likely to support him don't care.

However, as I said in my reply to @Beebo his supporters in Clacton don't care. I'm not sure there will be any long term damage to his reputation because his supporters don't give a fück.

It seems to just slowly be building. I am not going to stick my neck out yet and say this is going to finish him (although obviously it should), but there is a definite sense that a few more media outlets are starting to be a bit braver in how they are reporting on him. I am also taking a great deal of satisfaction in watching the mask slip and the real odious little man that he is come out on camera.

Reform's actual support has long since peaked. The reason we don't see this in the polls is because Labour's hasn't hit the bottom and the Tories' has not increased.
So there are still lots of numpty "might as well give the "Racist UK Party" a try" people propping up the numbers.
