Politics Richard tice Victoria Derbyshire
Victoria Derbyshire just ran rings round Richard Tice and Nigel Farage’s £5m ‘security’ gift
To the studios of BBC2’s Newsnight now, where Victoria Derbyshire was keen to talk security with Nigel Farage’s righthand man, Richard Tice.
Specifically, the questions Reform UK are asking around Farage’s security when he’d just been given £5m which he said was to pay for, er, his security, and when the Reform UK leader had previously turned down a security detail equivalent to that given to Kemi Badenoch.
Richard Tice all over the place on #newsnight
Farage turned down state funded security because he needs considerable security
Then He isn’t spending the £5 m because he doesn’t know how long he’ll be an MP and the lay security will fall away
Finally Reform is paying for security pic.twitter.com/EIqAukyhjJ— Mike H (@mikoh123) July 13, 2026
And these people surely said it best.

🚨 Richard Tice ties himself in knots on #Newsnight trying to explain Nigel Farage’s £5m “security” gift.
Farage rejected state-funded security because he needs considerable security.
He’s not spending the £5m because the need for security might fall away.
And Reform is paying… pic.twitter.com/paxoIJIfWE

Richard Tice in a "yes but no but" moment over the £5m "gift" Farage received for security and why he turned down state security (after lying saying he wasn't offered any)
Basically- Farage needs security akin to what the King would have.

Richard Tice is basically a very successful ’Homes Under The Hammer’-type developer; outside of making money on property development he’s atrociously bad. https://t.co/LuGBJg3m23

This is what happens ⬇️ when Thicky Dicky Tice & his fellow RefUKers tell so many different porkies, they can't keep track 😳

I’m so confused. I thought Posh George is paying for security?

About time Farage realised he is not a deity
In the recesses of his own mind he is more 'valuable' than Royalty, Badenoch Cabinet members
Likely needs sectioning not security https://t.co/9i6qQ70918
