Farage and friends have an anti World Health Organization pressure group?

https://halo.nu/@theguardian_world_news/116874019519772504



With his personal funding once again under media scrutiny, Nigel Farage, the leader of the rightwing Reform UK party, is adamant he is the victim of an “establishment plot” trying to stop him from reaching Downing Street.

This time, Farage is facing questions about support for his lifestyle from the convicted criminal George Cottrell, just months after it was revealed by the Guardian that he also took £5m from the cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne as a personal gift.

The accusation that shadowy actors and political opponents within the establishment are against him are being levelled not only by Farage, but by a range of his outriders – from former donor Arron Banks to Reform’s deputy leader, Richard Tice.

Andy Wigmore, an associate of Farage from his Brexit campaign days and now on the board of his anti-World Health Organization pressure group, claimed that the news was “[an] old story and irrelevant – Farage was not even elected, not in politics and guess what, the public don’t trust the media witch-hunt against Farage … same playbook against Farage as we witnessed against Trump, didn’t work with Trump won’t work with Farage.”
