Watch Nigel Farage speech live as Reform UK leader to make statement on future

Watch Nigel Farage’s speech live as the Reform UK leader plans to announce his future on Tuesday, July 7.

The Reform UK leader is set to make a statement about his “future in public life” as he faces intense scrutiny over donations made by a convicted criminal.

It comes after intense pressure following reports that long-time ally criminal George Cottrell had secured funding for security and staff in the year before he was elected.

Labor has asked the Electoral Commission to investigate whether support should be declared because Mr Farage was a leading figure for Reform even before his return to frontline politics.

It is the latest financial scandal to rock Mr Farage, who is already being investigated by the standards commissioner over the £5 million gift the MP received from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
