Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."

Lib Dem billboard of Nigel Farage laughing, captioned "Ten years on… do you feel better off?" above a Telegraph headline "Farage: I was given £5m as a reward for Brexit". Orange Lib Dem placards in the foreground.
