Farage Found To Have Breached MPs’ Rules Inadvertently. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage breaches MPs’ rules 17 times by failing to declare financial interests worth £384,000 within the required deadline, according to the parliamentary watchdog. The parliamentary commissioner for standards, Daniel Greenberg, rules that the breaches are inadvertent, blaming staffing and administrative problems rather than deliberate wrongdoing. He says Farage apologises and commits to meeting deadlines in future. The late declarations include income from appearances on GB News, paid speaking engagements with Google, and earnings through the Cameo app. Farage tells the commissioner he is sincerely sorry, saying there is no malicious intent and admitting he relies heavily on staff due to limited computer skills. He describes the errors as growing pains following a rapid expansion of his political operation. Although the commissioner says the decision is finely balanced given the sums involved, he concludes the case should be closed and will not refer it to the Committee on Standards.
