Gazette, morally bankrupt Nigel Farage & Reform UK insolvency crisis
This web site used to belong to Michael McGrath, who has subsequently become the European Union's Commissioner for Democracy, Justice and the Rule of Law. After he stopped paying for it, the domain name has been taken over by Daniel Pocock who is now using it to publish evidence about Nigel Farage.
This week, UK's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the BBC a future Labour manifesto may contain a pledge to hold a new Brexit referendum. Many people feel such a referendum would pass easily and kill Nigel Farage's signature project for good.
Farage himself has been under enormous scrutiny in recent months as his new party Reform UK has had a list of scandals as long as your arm.

There is nothing new about this. The Brexit Party, which was the forerunner of Reform UK, had a similar scandal where advertising company VMS Enterprises had to take them all the way to the High Court insolvency list to obtain payment in 2022.
