Farage says he will ‘make statement on my future in public life at 2pm’ – UK politics live

According to The Guardian, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he will make a statement about his future in public life at two o'clock this afternoon. The announcement comes after Labour asked the Electoral Commission to investigate claims that Farage broke electoral law by failing to disclose gifts he received from the businessman George Cottrell. In earlier comments, Farage touched on press regulation, saying that despite what he described as abuse from the press, he had never recommended curbing free press and would be worried about any Reform government using state power to control it. His exact plans remain unclear ahead of the scheduled statement.
