Let’s get this right. First he says he bought the place. Then he said he didn’t. Now Farage is unsure enough to hire expensive tax advisors…

Farage has 'expensive week' seeking tax advice in row over Clacton home
The Reform UK leader previously said he had bought a house in his constituency - only for it to emerge that it was in fact purchased by his partner.

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.
