In a statement based around his "future in public life" the Reform UK leader detailed a list of grievances around media and political scrutiny of the donations scandal.
Parliament is investigating whether Farage should have declared a £5 million gift given by cryptocurrency billionaire, Christopher Harborne, and the investigation could be expanded after the Sunday Times revealed benefits from his advisor, George Cottrell, who was previously jailed for fraud in the US in 2017.
Mr Farage insists he has done nothing wrong, calling these personal gifts.
