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.
