Astonishing, Telegraph charges £5.00 for this pish.

Not even trying the Nixonian "I'm no crook" defence.

With a bit of luck, voters will get rid of him.

I see, so if he does win he is automatically absolved of any crookedness? Good to know Mr Farage!

"I am not a crook...... unless the people of Clacton vote me out. In which case I am a crook".

More dodgy stuff, this time implicating Tice. It seems vaguely significant that the BBC aren't dancing round this one, just reporting it fairly straightly.

Police are investigating payments to Reform UK by a company controlled by the party's deputy leader, Richard Tice, BBC News has learned.

Britain Means Business gave the party two donations of £250,000 in the run-up to the 2024 general election, when Tice was party chairman.

Tice has said the money was given to his firm by Fiona Cottrell, a significant donor to Reform UK and mother of a convicted fraudster with close links to Nigel Farage.

Tice said: "This is the first I have heard of it - if true why are the Met Police briefing the BBC before contacting interested parties? Is the Met leadership now engaged in the widespread politically motivated smear campaign against Reform and its leaders?"

Coutts knew what they were doing with Farage.

They are starting on the "deep state" defence.

Well, it doesn't look like they've got much else to fall back on.

This is all brewing quite nicely. Some big hitters have it in for Mirage and now they're finally straight talking.

Not sure if this should go in the Reform thread, or, The Greens Thread:

Bless, Farage has changed his social media tune... Surprising no-one.
