Secretly recorded footage reveals Dan Jukes saying Nigel Farage deviated from the press office script by admitting a five million pound gift was a thank you for Brexit. The Reform UK leader received the money from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, which he previously claimed was solely for security costs. Parliamentary rules require MPs to declare donations, and watchdogs are currently investigating whether the funds should have been registered.
