Is Farage on the ropes?
Could Nigel Farage’s alleged financial relationship with a convicted fraudster come back to haunt him?
The Reform leader is already under scrutiny over his £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harbone and these fresh allegations about his association with George Cottrell will intensify the pressure.
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy unpack the political, legal and ethical questions at the heart of the claims and examine whether the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards could widen his investigation.
Nigel Farage insists he "has done no wrongdoing, followed the rules" and says he is considering legal action.
Elsewhere, with a fortnight until Andy Burnham enters No10, cabinet colleagues are continuing to jostle for their positions to keep their jobs.
Plus, Sam has a potential conspiracy theory on who could end up as Andy Burnham’s chancellor.
