Episode Has Farage blown it?
Nigel Farage is facing fresh questions over his finances, after reports about George Cottrell – ‘Posh George’ – and his role in funding staff and security for Reform before the 2024 election. The party says this was personal, not political – but could the row yet become a problem for Farage? And if he is suspended from parliament, would a recall petition be a disaster, or the perfect rallying cry?
Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is preparing for government, but the size of the task is becoming clearer. With access talks under way, who will make it into his cabinet – and who will be his chancellor?
Tim Shipman speaks to James Heale.
Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
