Farage/Reform got £12.000.000 before the 2024 election.

BUT

Breaking news over the last 10 hours,

Farage was given £5.000.000 by the Thai-based billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in the 2024 general election, "for security"

Farage did not declare this, breaking parliamentary rules.

He should be held accountable by parliament and appear before a standards committee. Reform UK claim he did not break parliamentary rules. Oh really?

No one, No politician should be allowed to accept gifts without declaring them,

But £5.000.000!

He is a Performer, not a Politician, and his act is getting old.

Begs the question if an MP and party leader feels attending Westminster/HoC why do the job in the first place. But then as Maremia outlines he's a performer not an active politician.

If you take Ronib's posts as being valid, basically unless you are in government, once elected you can take the salary and bugger off to do whatever you want. Which is exactly what Farage does.
