Does Farage ever stop (breaking rules)

In spite of the person who made it.

I don't know if you've seen this.
It's a take on "Father Ted"

Made me smile.

It falls under criminal law.

What he is currently being investigated for (5million etc) falls under parliamentary law.

Farage, like Trump simply doesn’t think the law is for him. On the first day back (Monday) he filmed an advert on the parliament roof. Totally not allowed.

The question is

Do we want a Trump type government? I reckon 90% of the population would say “no”

Nigel Farage has always worked in the grey areas as do many others in political, business and elsewhere.

If (when) he is found guilty of any of these accusations whether they fall into the realms of criminality or -parliamentary corruption I hope he is punished without prejudice and that this will serve as a lesson to others who think they are above the law.

Well, things are hotting up. Look out Mr Farage, your blatant and totally arrogant disregard of rules may well prove to be your undoing!

We can but live in hope.

Simple answer is No.

If you have watched the Channel 4 News coverage also try to watch the Verbatrim_Media version which has more in it including legal commentary from a KC.

There is also more incriminating footage about Reform’s relationship with pollster James Johnson of JL Partners, described by Dan Jukes as “a very discreet one” of “little clandestine projects”.

At a reception for Robert Jenrick, Jukes introduces “William as our key donor for “off the books projects”. He later attends a donors' party in Mayfair (£10,000 fee waived) where he meets all the senior figures in Reform.

The notion that Farage will get rid of Jukes (and Orr) is debatable. Jukes really is Farage’s right hand man. Unless they are arrested, I suspect they will just lie low for a while.

Catherine Blaikock, Farage’s former colleague in the Brexit Party, is on record saying that Farage puts nothing in writing so there is no paper trial to him and dictates his tweets to Jukes.

A lot of reputations and probably careers have been shredded by this investigation - and about time too. Now it will be Operation Protect Farage.

Catherine Blacklock on 13 May 2026. ^The main things I learnt working with Nigel Farage^:

1. His word is not his bond.
2. He does not write emails - no paper trail.
3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about.
4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable.
5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much.
6. Nigel is not an intellectual.
7. Nigel has spies.
8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water.
9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George.
10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper.
11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes.
12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people.
13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people.
14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money.

What I want to know now is whether the polling from James Johnson was fabricated - because it did have enormous repercussions with regards to local politics and local goverment organisation and reorganisation. As Farage said, Boom!

Agree totally with every point you make about Farage, he is a publicity hound with no discernible moral compass.
As for him being ‘a man of the people’ or ‘says it as it is’ , well, out of both of those statements I can only concur that he is indeed a man.

I'm shocked. Shocked. Round up all the usual suspects...

"But - no country should tolerate political influence from a hostile country or indeed from any individual who is not a British citizen. They have no ‘skin’ in our game nor are stakeholders. " WWM

But the foreigners who are giving huge amounts of money to Reform do have "skin in the game" when it comes to things like laws surrounding the use of cryptocurrency, government contracts, access to UK power and decision makers etc which will not take into account what is "good" for the country and it's population. Reform has received millions more than the other political parties, much of it from very dubious sources, and this enables them to chuck money into political advertising, social media and even a TV station. For a small political party with few MPs it gives them unfair advantage. Supporters of reform should be asking themselves why foreign donors are so keen to fund Reform, what's in it for them?

^ Democracy is threatened when our politicians are decided by outside forces^

I don’t think that Farage supporters and apologists are particularly concerned about democracy…

nanna so political parties get funded in various ways and anyone who is a British citizen can give donations to any political party they wish.

But - no country should tolerate political influence from a hostile country or indeed from any individual who is not a British citizen. They have no ‘skin’ in our game nor are stakeholders.

Democracy is threatened when our politicians are decided by outside forces.

It is hardly racist for the right wink think tank around 878 that I mentioned up thread with Ress Mogg and Reform involved being given money from the current Trump administration?

As regards union funds, remember this: it is no longer the case and has not been for some time that the union itself gives the money.

Individual members have to specifically opt in to give political money. so what you have is large numbers, and in the case of Unison just as an example, many very low paid care and NHS workers are members, and it is a way for them giving very small amounts each.

Individual decisions from the poorer members of society to support a party that they feel acts in their interests, I frankly cannot see the problem in this at all

As for racism, where on earth does this come in there?

Is it ok to be supported by union funds ,though? I am playing devil’s advocate but isn’t it racist to reject ‘foreign’ donations ? A lot of countries do, especially from good old China.

I was surprised how detached Farage seemed during the oysters meal, he was polite to the elderly “father” but no more. Can you be accused of taking money from a foreign source when they aren’t?
All very odd

I think you’ll find that Reform has already taken money from a number of ‘foreign sources’, as was revealed in the Ch 4 film. Plenty of scope for potential prosecution, then…

Farage and his merry band of money grubbers have, yet again, shown their stripes whilst quaffing champers and eating oysters! Anti establishment protectors of the "common people" they are not. According to Tice the "blob" ie the establishment, need to go so Reform can do whatever it wants, just like Trump is trying to do in the US and that's going well, isn't it?

It’s fine but everyone from every party should be subject to the same scrutiny as this Reform party otherwise it just looks like the ‘establishment’ is frightened and attacking what they see as a threat. Which , much though they won’t admit it, looks like it is how it is.

Are you buying Farage’s cry of ‘infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it infamy’, nanna8? 😳

I think journalists are forever on the lookout for the next scandal, and once one about an individual is uncovered, they all go in hard. Last time it was with Angela Rayner, but there have been multiple discoveries over the years. Reform are not helping themselves by banning certain journalists from their conference, eight at the last count, because they want to stop adverse reports, but actually it will fuel more searches because banning makes journalists think there is more being hidden.

Agree nanna8 , but I think that all parties are subject to the same scrutiny.
The activities reported upon by the Channel 4 documentary are only of interest because of the reaction of the Reform group.
It's possible that similar approaches have been made to the Lib Dems, or the Green party, for example, but were rejected. That wouldn't have made an interesting programme.

Sky News just printed a statement:

‘Channel 4 say the undercover footage was filmed by representatives from Verbatim in Farage's Clacton constituency in July this year.

But a Reform spokesperson said the party "has been the target of a hoax perpetuated by foreign-funded, climate change activists posing as would-be party donors" and denied any wrongdoing.’

Well, they will say any excuse now.

If in doubt,

If under fire.

Blame someone else, vague "outside forces". No evidence of any kind.
He may not be claiming gods on his side, yet, but buddies in UK?
Rees Mogg - "When discussing his faith, Rees-Mogg has stated that his Catholicism makes political life easier not because "God is on his side," but because the (ie his specific Church) provides a clear, authoritative body of moral teaching to which he can refer.

Anyone else get a sniff of borderline Trump and pals?

Career suicide for pollster James Johnson and a tad embarrassing for former Tory Chair Sir Brandon Lewis (and briefly Secretary of State for Justice under Truss) who recently joined the the board of JL Partners.

Speaking of murky, this story was lurking in the Wales section of BBC News today as well - Nathan Gill has to pay £22,000 to the government.
