Reporting things that actually happened and Nigel denied actually happened ≠ character assassination. |
It states
Quote:
Nigel Farage received £450,000 from the founder of pro-Brexit group Leave.EU in the year after the Brexit referendum.
Items paid for by Arron Banks included Mr Farage's London home, his car and trips to the US to meet Donald Trump.
A spokesman for Mr Banks confirmed the amount and what it had been used for, saying it was an "honour to help".

You appear to have missed a bit out from the source of your first quote, which was from the BBC last month.

British Steel has secured a £100m loan from the government to pay its EU carbon bill, a source close to the company has said.
The money means the private equity-owned firm will avoid a steep EU fine.
The firm said earlier this month it needed the funds to settle its 2018 pollution bill due at the end of April.
Sky News said the government money was used to pay for the company's carbon credits - and that British Steel would repay the money on commercial terms.
The firm has been hit by a European Union decision to suspend UK firms' access to free carbon permits until a Brexit withdrawal deal is ratified.
The EU's emissions trading system's rules allow industrial polluters to use carbon credits to pay for the previous year's emissions, or trade them to raise money.
