Undercover footage shared with the Guardian shows a close aide to Nigel Farage saying the Reform UK leader's description of a £5m gift as a reward for Brexit was not the agreed press line. Farage has said the money from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne was solely for his security. A parliamentary standards watchdog is investigating whether the gift should have been declared under Commons rules.
