Nigel Farage could be banned from the European parliament for his failure to declare almost half a million pounds in gifts from Brexiteer donor Arron Banks.
...Millionaire Brexit backer Banks is alleged to have given Farage as much as £450,000 in kind following the EU referendum, which included a chauffeur-driven car, rent and bills on a £4.4m Chelsea home, and trips to the United States to meet right-wing politicians.

The investigation was sparked following the Channel 4 News investigation - who were subsequently banned for a short period from Brexit Party events during the European election campaign.

...Recently an old video was uncovered which showed Nigel Farage boasting about how MEPs can milk the system. Last year his salary was docked by half for misspending EU funds intended to staff his office.

Grifter, banning the press, skirting ethics law and meeting right wing politicians. Farage belongs in IQ 45’s cabinet. Farage will try to destroy the NHS because these dirtbags share their hatred for a public health system.
