Fresh allegations have prompted calls for another standards investigation, while Reform UK insists no parliamentary rules were broken. The developments raise wider questions about transparency and declarations by elected representatives.

00:00Fresh questions are being asked about Nigel Farage after reports have suggested that he
00:05received support from longtime ally George Contral before becoming an MP. The Sunday Times says that
00:13included security, staffing and other benefits which were not declared. Reform UK insists no
00:19parliamentary roles were broken, arguing that the support was personal and provided before Mr Farage
00:25entered Parliament. The Liberal Democrats have asked the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner
00:30to investigate the matter. Mr Farage's spokesman has called the claims baseless and says the rules
00:36were followed. A separate standards inquiry into an earlier undeclared £5 million gift remains ongoing.
