Farage responds after Labour MP uses Parliamentary privilege to call for him to be sanctioned

"Say that outside of the House of Commons, I could do with a new car, maybe even a new house," the former Brexit Party leader said.

Nigel Farage has responded to claims made by Chris Bryant that he received money from the Russian state – describing the accusations as a “complete and utter lie”.

The Labour MP used Parliamentary privilege to call for the former Brexit Party leader and Brexit bankroller Arron Banks to be added to the UK’s sanction list.

“I don’t understand why Arron Banks, frankly, isn’t on the list”, he said, adding:

“I simply point out that Nigel Farage received from Russia Today £548,573 in 2018 alone – from the Russian state.”

A source close to Arron Banks told the Mirror: “Chris Bryant’s comments are from the emotional anti- Brexit child’s guide to political comment. ‘Everyone I don’t like that voted for Brexit must have links to the Kremlin’.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
