  • Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, admitted to breaching parliamentary rules by failing to register a visit to the US in March.
  • The trip involved headlining a fundraiser for Donald Trump in Florida, an event where top-tier tables reportedly cost $25,000.
  • Farage blamed an error by his office for the failure to disclose the visit's details, stating his travel arrangements were self-paid.
  • Parliamentary rules mandate that MPs register foreign visits costing over £300 within 28 days if they are not wholly paid for by the MP or public funds.
  • Farage also faced scrutiny over his constituency home, which was purchased by his partner, not him, despite his earlier claims of buying it.
