With grubby pacts, police probes, and support from a convicted fraudster – Reform are up to their neck in sleaze and they clearly think the rules don’t apply to them.

It’s time to stop the excuses and desperate distractions and finally come clean with the public. If Farage has nothing to hide, he surely would have done so by now.

These are the latest allegations in a mountain of unanswered questions concerning Reform’s donors and finances. Nigel Farage cannot dodge them forever. He needs to stop making excuses and come clean with the public.
