Farage aide is caught on undercover footage saying it is 'priced in' that the Reform leader will profit from politics

Dan Jukes, Nigel Farage's long-time right-hand man, was filmed saying the Brexit 'reward' claim over a £5m gift 'was not the line to take from the press office'. The money came from Christopher Harborne, a crypto billionaire, ahead of the 2024 election. Farage reportedly described it in May as a reward for 27 years of Brexit campaigning. Parliament's standards watchdog is set to deliver its ruling any day now on whether the donation should have been declared.

Jukes added: 'No one's voting for him to be the pope.'

His lawyers accuse the undercover reporters of 'entrapment' and 'selective editing'.

Reform insists the gift was to pay for Farage's security 'for the rest of his life'.
