UK police have confirmed they are assessing allegations that Nigel Farage‘s Reform Party overspent on the Brexit leader’s general election campaign in the Clacton constituency (electoral district) last year.Richard Everett, a former Reform councillor and member of the party’s campaign team, reportedly submitted documents to London’s Metropolitan Police, alleging that the party had exceeded the £20,660 (~$27,500) spending limit. Notably, Everett was expelled from Reform for alleged sexually inappropriate behaviour at a party office in Clacton, with the party dismissing him as a “disgruntled former councillor” with an axe to grind.In a statement released on Monday, Essex Police said: “We are assessing a report relating to alleged misreported expenditure by a political party in connection with the 2024 general election, following a referral to us by the Met Police.”The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, a former senior advisor to Farage, has described the investigation as lawfare, predicting, “They’re going to try to do with Nigel Farage what they did with Marine Le Pen.”
I said it a while back. They’re going to try to do with Nigel Farage what they did with Marine Le Pen.
Allege some ludicrous breach of arcane EU rules a decade ago, and have some activist lefty judge try to ban him from office.
It’s authoritarian law fare of the highest order. https://t.co/a4YayBHIdm
