Labour challenges Farage over cost of private jet trip to Maldives

Anna Turley questions revised 25,000 figure for failed attempt to reach Chagos Islands on jet linked to billionaire

Labour has queried Nigel Farage's claim that a return trip to the Maldives on a private jet linked to a billionaire donor cost as little as 25,000 as the Reform leader attempted to reach the Chagos Islands.

Farage initially recorded his two-day trip to the Maldives as costing 12,500 funded by Thailand-based Reform megadonor Christopher Harborne, before upgrading this to 25,000 in the latest register of interests.
