Ahead of former deputy PM Angela Rayner‘s resignation on Friday 5 September, Reform leader Nigel Farage took time to beam down the lense of a GB News camera.
With Reform leading in the polls, Farage obviously wanted to capitalise on the latest Labour scandal:
‘If it were me, you’d all be demanding I resign!’@Nigel_Farage says ‘it’s more likely than not’ that Angela Rayner will have to resign in the wake of her tax scandal, after admitting she wrongly avoided paying stamp duty.

Fresh back from trying to be friends with Donald Trump (he’s not interested, Nigel), Farage told the hard-right news channel:
If it were me, you’d all be demanding I resigned
Obviously Farage can feel chuffed because Rayner has now gone. And he’s there safe in the knowledge he would never do anything like that.
OR WOULD HE?
DUN, DUN, DUUHHHHHHHHHHH…
Oh Nigel…
Lucky for us that the Reform Party UK Exposed X account is on hand. They claim that Farage “put his Clacton house in to his partner’s name”, “avoiding tens of thousands of pounds like Rayner”.
Nigel Farage put his Clacton house in to his girlfriend Laure’s name, avoiding tens of thousands of pounds like Rayner.
But he won’t tell you that.
He already has a property worth about £1m in the village of Downe in Kent, as well as two houses in Lydd-on Sea in the same… https://t.co/EpSYFZ4d15

This is despite reportedly already having a million pound pad elsewhere in Kent and two other homes nearby.
Farage: nothing to see here
Of course, far-right fag-stained whopper Farage denies all knowledge of avoiding stamp duty. As the Guardian wrote:
“the detached property in an upmarket part of Clacton-on-Sea was actually solely bought by Laure Ferrari, his partner of some years.
Farage was asked by the Guardian why he had claimed to be the buyer, and whether the property had been bought in Ferrari’s name in a way that allowed him legally to avoid higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional residential house – given that he already owns other properties.
He was also asked whether he was the ultimate source of funds for the transaction either by gift or loan and whether it was Ferrari’s sole property in the UK, which could make her eligible for standard rate stamp duty.
Farage said: “Whether I say ‘I’ or ‘we is pretty irrelevant. Laure bought the house; it is her asset.
“The main reason my name does not appear is for security reasons. I would have thought that obvious. As for her other UK or French assets, that is purely a private matter.”
If there’s a lesson in all this it’s definitely something about, er, getting your own house in order. Or houses, in the case of Farage and Rayner.
