Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Farage Threatens 'Serious Consequences' After Finance Questions
Caption: Farage Threatens 'Serious Consequences' After Finance Questions. Nigel Farage warned Sky News of "serious consequences" after being questioned about new allegations over his finances. The confrontation followed reports that Farage received financial support from longtime ally George Cottrell, who was convicted of wire fraud in the U.S. Farage is also under investigation by Parliament's standards watchdog over a £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne before the 2024 general election. When asked whether he should have declared gifts from Cottrell, Farage accused Sky News of harassing his family and refused to answer the question. Sky News denied contacting any members of Farage's family about the story. Farage said he had done nothing wrong, followed parliamentary rules and was considering legal action against the Sunday Times, calling the reports an "establishment hit job.” U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to back Farage by sharing an article defending him on Truth Social. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice said voters were not concerned by the controversy, adding: "No one's perfect.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
