Arron Banks, the Leave.EU backer and Farage ally, has been accused of hiring private investigators to snoop on business rivals and journalists. Reports say he used Precision Risk and Intelligence in a long dispute with an insurer and law firm, and against Sunday Times reporters covering Reform UK. Banks defended the work and may stand for Reform. Farage is working with him to revive Leave.EU.
