Nigel Farage is currently under investigation by Parliament's standards commissioner, Daniel Greenberg, regarding an alleged undeclared £5 million gift. The Liberal Democrats have also asked Greenberg to investigate new claims about undeclared support from his aide, George Cottrell. If Farage is found to have broken parliamentary rules, he could face sanctions like a Commons suspension, potentially leading to a by-election in his Clacton seat.
