Petulant Farage claims BBC endangering him by asking about undeclared £5m

A petulant and clearly rattled Nigel Farage has accused the BBC of putting his life in danger – by asking about the undeclared £5m ‘gift’ bunged to him by a crypto-billionaire.

Nunya – not

Farage has claimed the money was to pay for his ‘lifetime security’ and that he didn’t have to declare it because it “wasn’t political“. But he refused to say whether he had spent any of it on security – though he has previously admitted he’s spent none on that. He poutingly insisted that it’s none of the public’s business what an elected MP does with money that he failed to declare as required by law. And he claimed his life would be in danger if he answered:

Farage: ‘it’s all about me’

Appallingly but unsurprisingly, Farage also claimed he had been the most endangered MP over the last 10+ years. The families of murdered MPs Jo Cox (2016) and David Amess (2021) might have something to say about that nonsense. Farage has been taking “it’s all about me” lessons from his orange US mate, perhaps.

Bad news Nige: anything being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Committee is a legitimate matter of public interest – as is the issue of why you got £5m from a billionaire and what he expects in return for his investment gift.
