Farage ‘routinely’ introduced criminal donor Cottrell as ‘chief of staff’

Scandal-riddled Nigel Farage “routinely” introduced criminal crypto-financier ‘Posh’ George Cottrell as his “chief of staff”, according to new revelations in the Guardian.

Cottrell is one of two donors at the centre of the scandal of Farage’s massive undeclared donations, which he was legally obliged to report on becoming an MP. Farage is now trying to staunch the bleeding by resigning his Clacton parliamentary seat and standing for re-election. However, his claim that the donations have been a purely personal matter among friends is shattered by the latest exposure.

Farage panic

As well as his own donations and the alleged provision of vehicles to Reform MPs, bank staff suspected that a £1m donation from Cottrell’s mother was not her own money. Reform denies Cottrell had any “official role”.

The introductions and other issues mire Farage even further in a scandal of his own making. Even his attempted ‘reset’ is in trouble. Panicked Reform is begging supporters to ignore the Manchester mayoral contest and get to Clacton to campaign after bookmakers made comedy candidate ‘Count Binface‘, Farage’s only real challenger, only 5/1 to defeat him in the now-vacated seat.
