      Nigel Farage breached parliamentary rules 17 times by failing to declare financial interests worth £384,000 within the required 28 days, according to the standards commissioner. The late declarations included income from GB News, speaking engagements, and Cameo.

      The commissioner ruled the breaches were inadvertent, caused by administrative and staffing issues, and decided not to recommend sanctions, despite saying the decision was “finely balanced” given the amounts involved. Farage apologised, denied any malicious intent, and blamed the delays on the complexity of his business interests and being let down by a senior staff member.

      Labour criticised Farage, accusing him of prioritising personal income over representing his constituents.

      ‘Daniel Greenberg said that following an investigation he had concluded that the breaches were „inadvertent“ and due to „staffing and other administrative issues“.’

      So…? Nigel Farage’s admin team inadvertently breached the financial rules 17 times. Nah it’s not as catchy.

    4. Mubadger on

      Well that’s just a total lie. There’s nothing ‚inadvertent‘ about Farage’s corruption. He knows exactly what he’s doing, just like that orange shit-stain he worships.

      Him and his mates take money from our worst enemy of the moment. Putin . Surely that’s a much bigger crime ?

    6. PeterG92 on

      If he can’t manage his admin as an MP how do you expect him to run a country?

      „Mr Farage has been accused of taking bribes openly from various foreign nations, however he has vehamently defended himself, stating, ‚This is a smear by the corrupt lefty loony media, and sneering Tufton street elites. I stand by my actions and all bribes are handed over to me in brown paper bags. Never… in the open.'“

      Huh.

      If I inadvertently breached my company’s financial rules 1 time, I’d be fired. This has been made abundantly clear to me both when I started, and every year since.

      Why is this not enforced for the people writing the rules for the country?

      Once is misfortune, twice is carelessness, seventeen times is inadvertent.

    11. KitchenIcy2450 on

      Plus his followers and 330,000 send him £25 and he’s not given the money back the £94,000 as he was supposed to represent Clacton

      They’ll have their own project 2025 equivalent ready to go if they ever get power and watchdogs like these will be first on the block.

    13. Codydoc4 on

      This little frog-faced quisling needs to face some consequences for once. No one else gets this much leniency.

    14. FreeTheDimple on

      If I see him, I’m going to inadvertently throw the nearest dog turd in his face.

    15. Numerous_Green4962 on

      To do something once is a mistake, twice an oversite, three times is a pattern, seventeen is incompetence.

    16. SDLRob on

      This is how he destroys the country… By the groups that should stop his corruption not doing their jobs.

      He is a crook, a liar and a traitor. The fact that he’s still in the public eye and not jail is sickening.

    18. mypseudonymyoyoyo on

      This kinda thing needs to stop – how can we be expected to follow the rules if muppets like farage are allowed to get away with it? Two tier policing. Also how does this give any semblance of not being entirely corrupt?

    19. Sir_Henry_Deadman on

      It’s not inadvertently…. If there’s one thing he does deliberately it’s scrape money from wherever possible

    20. Mundane_Process_2986 on

      Corrupt politician says “that was a mistake” 17 times when shown evidence of his corruption and claims innocence.

    21. Aggravating-Day-2864 on

      Not another ‚inadvertent‘ from an MP…dear dear dear what will we do? And the answer is FK ALL

    22. JimXVX2 on

      When my dog inadvertently shits on the carpet, there’s still shit on the carpet.

    23. GenghisKhant_ on

      And what is the punishment? Nothing I suspect, no action taken, so completely pointless and toothless rules. I’m sure they will have enquiry that will line the pockets of lawyers.

    24. Snaidheadair on

      If it is ‚administrative‘ and ’staffing issues‘ he should just hire more and/or competent staff.

    25. Obi-Scone on

      Weird. Surely they should set up a crime scene tent on his doorstep, get the BBC to wildly misreport it and then harass him till he resigns? Or is that for other parties?

    26. welshpete56 on

      „Inadvertently“

      Completed intentionally like the lying prick he is.

      Why can the idiots not see through this plastic trump?

    27. Salt-Lengthiness-620 on

      As a former member of the military, if you breached financial rules (expenses etc) you could fully expect arrest and prosecution under the armed forces act.

      I fail to understand why people charged with representing us, including members of the armed forces are held to lesser standards

    28. dnemonicterrier on

      And he’s going to get away with it because his dumb fans will swallow „the system is against me“ crap.

    29. wkavinsky on

      I feel there needs to be some speech marks around „inadvertently“.

      I’m confident the long term grifter knows **exactly** what he’s doing.

    30. ThePlanck on

      Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action, 17 times is taking the piss

    31. Optimal-Leather341 on

      I think the key point here is „Inadvertent“. Going forwards, if these breaches happen, then clobber him for it. But the moment, nothing to talk about really.

    32. According-Secret9516 on

      He was fined by the EU for fiddling expenses. Good old Nigel, but his followers will forgive him whilst ranting about Starmer getting football tickets.

    33. evolveandprosper on

      Why isn’t he calling for his own resignation? If the same kind of information came out about a senior member of any other party, he would be on every media outlet demanding that they resign or be sacked.

    34. Georgi2024 on

      Anyone else in a job eg teaching would have been fired long ago. He shouldn’t still be in office after all this.

    35. Chimp3h on

      If someone in the Labour cabinet accidentally broke the rules 17 times there would be calls to resign. No such luck of “salt of the earth” Privately educated investment banker Nigel Farage

    36. DentistEmotional559 on

      Would it not be more honestly stated as „inadvertently got caught breaching MP’s financial rules 17 times“

    38. SpottedDicknCustard on

      What we’re seeing in America is in part due to not holding people responsible and them not facing consequences when they break rules/laws.

      What we’re seeing in America now is those in power who never faced the consequences taking it out on the people who demanded there be consequences.

      We’re backsliding.

    39. EastRiding on

      Maybe instead of constitution by convention we have an actual written one with rules that specify how breaching standards would bar someone from sitting in any elected position.

      Maybe you could only breach these rules 3 times before being disqualified automatically as a member of any house and automatically banned from any and all future elections. Might clear up politicos abit. Probably plenty of other places we could tighten the rules up to make sure only the best and brightest represent us and not the thickest with deep wallets and influence.

      Maybe changing going party allegiance (except for independent) would trigger a by-election footed by the party adopting the existing member and if that member joins a party in a future election (sitting ‘independent’ until a GE then to adopt the member they have to reimburse the by-election cost before they can stand for that party).

    40. LordLucian on

      Inadvertently…rubbish.

      Intentional or not it’s not an excuse, Disciplinary action and consequences are required

    41. knitscones on

      Inadvertently?

      So he is pure as driven snow but Labour MPs need to resign from ministerial jobs?

      Aye right!
