Re: Brexit

Looks like Farage has been living it up at Banks's expense. But we still don't know who is funding Banks. The National Crime Agency are still investigating.

Channel 4 News investigation reveals how millionaire Arron Banks spent approximately £450,000 on Nigel Farage to fund lavish lifestyle the year following the EU referendum in summer 2016.

Mr Banks is currently under investigation by the National Crime Agency over the source of his funding for the Brexit campaign.
However, Nigel Farage claims Mr Banks has never funded The Brexit Party, which was founded in February this year.

An investigation by Channel 4 News reveals:

- Mr Banks, through one of his companies, rented exclusive £4.4m Chelsea home for Mr Farage
- Gifts included furniture, council tax, water and electricity bills
- Banks provided a £30k car and £20k for a driver
- Banks also leased private office for £1,500 a month and paid Mr Farage’s personal assistant
- Hundreds of thousands of pounds were spent promoting “Brand Farage” in America
- A company owned by Mr Banks, called Rock Services Ltd, leased a £4.4m three-bedroom Chelsea home with a garage for Mr Farage at an estimated rent of £13,000 a month in summer 2016.
- Mr Banks also bought furniture and fittings for the house, including crockery, chairs and bathroom accessories and even even a shower curtain.
- Mr Farage was also provided with a Land Rover Discovery, valued at £32,300, for his use.
- Mr Banks paid £20,000 for a close protection driver and sought to raise a further £130,000 from unnamed supporters to cover Mr Farage’s security detail.

The revelations are contained in invoices, emails and other documents seen by Channel 4 News which lay bare Mr Farage’s financial reliance on Arron Banks to fund his lavish lifestyle after he announced he was standing down as UKIP leader following the referendum.
