🚨 BREAKING 🚨
"Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces pressure to account for how his partner paid for a £885,000 home after a BBC investigation raised further questions about his previous explanation."
A BBC investigation raises questions about how the Reform UK leader's partner paid for a home in his constituency.
Hoisted by his own petard
I see the BBC have managed to post this on a day when the Charlie Kirk and Mandelson stories are running, so it won't get as much attention as it might have done on another day...
And the rest. Evasion of tax apparently is quite an art.
It’s pretty obvious he gave her the money to pay for it. Gift not taxable unless he dies within 7 years. What’s the problem 😈
Colour me shocked 🙄
I hope he gets jailed for tax evasion.
Forensic accountant look at her accounts, after farage got elected. Trace those deposits back.
When you buy a house a questionnaire has to completed detailing the source of the funds. Find that and you have your answers
Good.
60 Shades of cheating.
Very shady personalities.
In my personal observation.
Can we make sure this doesn’t just stay as a question on stamp duty!! The question is what were the source of funds for the purchase, whose name was the property purchased under and what relevant taxes have been paid. Providing Kings Council after the event does not exclude him from transparency
Another one not fit for any bloody office.
Keep going until the truth is revealed. No more crooked politicians.
It must be serious if even the BBC are reporting it. They waited 10 days after the story first broke, natch.
Chris Mason tonight suggested on R4 that Farage would have been a better appointment to UK ambassador to the US than Mandy… the Reform bias is strong
Hope it sticks this time, he has very slopey shoulders.
Shocking... A BBC investigation, glad someone there is still awake.
Finally a bbc journalist in the UK does some actual reporting
The BB-fucking-C Wow!!
Needs explaining.
About bloody time.
Nothing screams "I had nothing to do with it" than, taking advice from a "top" tax barrister (real "man of the people" vibes, there.)
Yet more lies from these scoundrels.
Unbelievable
Yes details please soonest.
We can rely on #BBC because given Reform polls they want to talk about Reform and Farage constantly
I'll believe that when pigs fly.
"Do you know what, do you know what....." deflect, what about, outrage....repeat
Ooh the BBC better not upset Farage, he might refuse to be on Question Time every fucking week.
I can just see F*rage helping the BBC with their investigation with a rousing chorus of "How dare you!"
Do you mean Britain's Far Right Party? Call them what they are! Being ultra polite doesn't cut the mustard!
About time that questions were asked.
BBC investigation, yeah they a good history when it comes to investigating thier own
It will be money from Aaron Banks which has come from Russia, probably.
Remember the email "Do not mention Ural Properties", or something similar. Banks actually sent that in an email to the government when he was under investigation. He'd told a colleague that, yet left it in the documentation.
It would be good to see the anti-Labour @theguardian.com go after someone else for a change. The Fagash Fuhrer would be a good place to start.
The BBC finally growing a uterus...
Nothing to see here… it fell from his magic money tree. Question is where’s its roots?
Keep up the pressure
I'm sure he'll say this is a breach of his freedom of expression or something.
About time. Will enjoy this playing out…
That house won’t be in Jaywick then. What a charlatan.
If he’s gifted her the money won’t he have to pay tax on that gift as she is not resident in the UK? You are exempt if both of you live here. Also if she is a French resident there is a gift limit of €80k euro. So if she was given the money she owes the French Government some money🫢
Arse
Good. At last the BBC is doing the right thing.
Farage an absolute blazing hypocrite? Surely not.
Keep following the money. Where did she get the money from ? Then where did that person / company get it from ?
#MoneyLaundering
Ooooft have the BBC finally decided to grow a pair?
