It must be bad for Nige and his finances if it’s Honest Bob Jenrick to the rescue | John Crace

Nothing to see here,' says the man who once overruled council planners in favour of Richard Dirty' Desmond

How unlucky can one man get? You have to feel for Nigel Farage. Why does it keep happening to him? There he is, just minding his own business, trying to make a decent living - those five houses won't pay for themselves, which is why other people may have done - and yet there's always someone trying to drag a good man down. Isn't the Man of the People (TM)" entitled to have a few multimillionaires as friends to bankroll his lifestyle? Who hasn't pined for crypto and gold bullion?

First there was the 5m from the British-Thai crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, revealed exclusively by the Guardian. Months later, the stench won't go away. Even Nige has been at a loss to explain what exactly he was given the money for. Unsure whether it was a payment to cover security or just a little thank you" for a lifetime's work in the service of making the country an easier place for grifters to make money. Even now, Nige has gone to ground as he tries to get his story straight.
