12:51Now PlayingRobert Jenrick had a spiky exchange with Sky News' Trevor Phillips over claims that Nigel Farage had received benefits from a convicted criminal.
According to The Sunday Times, George Cottrell, who was convicted of wire fraud in the US in 2017, gave the Reform UK leader support with security and social media staff before he was elected, and gave Farage use of a rented property.
A spokesman for Nigel Farage said:
“It comes as no surprise that the Sunday Times has chosen to publish this baseless and contrived story, covering a period of time when Nigel Farage was not even an active politician let alone an elected one, given that the newspaper backed the Labour Party at the last general election. Contrary to the story’s tone, no parliamentary rules have been broken. We also understand The Sunday Times has a new podcast to promote, which it seems very excited about. Its agenda should be plain for all to see.”
