GCC News
George Cottrell provided funds for Reform UK leader’s security, drivers, staff and accommodation, Sunday Times reports.
Nigel Farage received financial benefits from a convicted fraudster in the year before he was elected to parliament, and potentially breached parliamentary rules by failing to declare them, a UK newspaper has reported.
The Reform UK party leader did not declare benefits that included accepting security, drivers, staff and accommodation paid for by George Cottrell, according to the Sunday Times investigation.

Cottrell, 32, was jailed in the United States in 2017 for his role in a money laundering conspiracy.
The newspaper said Cottrell recruited and paid three staff to work on Farage’s social media before the general election, and has continued to allow him to use a five-storey Georgian townhouse he rented near Buckingham Palace.
A spokesman for Farage said the story was “baseless and contrived”.
