Nigel Farage's Explosive Claim
Nigel Farage has alleged that he was offered ten peerages and a knighthood from allies of Boris Johnson in exchange for his party standing aside in the 2019 election. Describing the offer as "bribery – corruption on the most extraordinary level," the Brexit leader's revelation is expected to spark controversy.
The Alleged Bribery Offer
In an exclusive interview, Farage disclosed the details of the deal, stating that he was offered ten peerages for his party and a knighthood for himself. Despite the tempting offer, Farage vehemently refused, denouncing the proposition as immoral and corrupt.
Farage's Stance on Corruption
Farage emphasized that he rejected the offer not for personal gain but out of principle, citing his refusal to accept a peerage under any circumstances. He expressed outrage at the alleged corruption within British politics and criticized those close to Boris Johnson for their involvement in the offer.
Implications for the Conservative Party
Amidst the controversy, Farage predicted that the Conservative Party is "doomed" and suggested that right-wing figures like Suella Braverman could defect to his Reform UK party. He claimed that there is a growing sentiment among Tory MPs to join his party, aiming to reshape the future of British politics.
Boris Johnson's Response
In response to Farage's claims, a spokesman for Boris Johnson reiterated the Prime Minister's previous denial of offering peerages to the Brexit Party. The allegations have reignited discussions about potential misconduct and unethical practices within political circles.
