Nigel Farage urged to explain how his partner funded £885k Clacton home
Farage accused of hypocrisy over partner’s Clacton home
- Nigel Farage is facing questions regarding his £885,000 Clacton constituency home, which is owned by his partner, Laure Ferrari.
- The Reform UK leader denies avoiding over £44,000 in stamp duty, saying that Ms Ferrari purchased the property with her own funds from a wealthy French family.
- A BBC investigation has cast doubt on Ms Ferrari's financial means, suggesting her family's wealth may not support such a significant purchase.
- Critics accuse Mr Farage of hypocrisy, drawing parallels to his previous criticism of former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner over a stamp duty issue, if he financially contributed to the purchase.
- Mr Farage's spokesman maintains that Ms Ferrari is the sole owner, the property was bought with her funds, and all taxes were properly paid, with Mr Farage having no financial interest.
