The Reform UK leader says he will stand again in Clacton, saying the people of the constituency ‘should be the judges of my actions’ Q: Do you think the parliamentary commissioner for standards should investigate Nigel Farage’s gifts from George Cottrell? Badenoch said that was a matter for the commissioner. [Farage is] hinting at press regulation. For all of the criticism and the attacks, and I would even say abuse that I’ve got from the press, I’ve never once recommended curbing our free press. I think this is one of the amazing things about this country. I would be very worried about a Reform government using government power to control the press. I don’t think that that would be right.
