Farage blames office error for breaching parliamentary rules over Trump event
Nigel Farage admits breaching parliamentary rules
- Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, admitted to breaching parliamentary rules by failing to register a visit to the US in March.
- The trip involved headlining a fundraiser for Donald Trump in Florida, an event where top-tier tables reportedly cost $25,000.
- Farage blamed an error by his office for the failure to disclose the visit's details, stating his travel arrangements were self-paid.
- Parliamentary rules mandate that MPs register foreign visits costing over £300 within 28 days if they are not wholly paid for by the MP or public funds.
- Farage also faced scrutiny over his constituency home, which was purchased by his partner, not him, despite his earlier claims of buying it.
