Nigel Farage was asked the only question anyone wants answering and his response was Reform accountability in a nutshell

It looks like being a good day for Nigel Farage, although it remains to be seen it if can be quite as good as the day he found out he was being given £5m by crypto billionaire, Christopher Harbourne.

Because that’s gotta be pretty hard to beat, right?

Farage didn’t declare it, obviously, so the only reason we know about it is because the Guardian uncovered it.

And it is surely the only question any journalist worth their salt wants to ask Farage right now (not that you’d know it).

And yet some people did manage to put the question to the Reform UK leader, and his answer was Reform accountability in a nutshell.

Farage and Co are now fair game, time to fully expose their underbelly

That’s because Nigel can’t handle scrutiny – that’s why he didn’t declare it in the first place.

The British media shouldn’t let Nigel brush this off like he has tried to with the scandal over his house in clacton, being antisemetic, racism in his own party and more. https://t.co/4wFNtfAZkt

Give him a few more months and he will start doing the trump of just saying fake news and calling people stupid for calling out his corruption

Almost as if there’s a pattern emerging here …
