Shownotes

Nigel Farage realises one of his lifelong ambitions, as he becomes an MP, with the help of Posh George.

This leads to questions over George’s financial support for his ally. Did it breach parliamentary rules?

And, the Insight team tries to make sense of Posh George and Farage’s ten-plus year friendship after the fallout from their reporting.

Both George Cottrell and Nigel Farage deny any wrongdoing.

Host: Gabriel Pogrund, editor of Insight at The Sunday Times
