## Resource

Ava is joined by Venetia Menzies of Insight, the investigations team at The Sunday Times. Over the weekend, Venetia and her colleagues published a story uncovering the extent of the relationship between Reform's Nigel Farage and 'Posh' George Cottrell, a convicted felon, as well as a potential breach of the parliamentary rules linked to gifts from Cottrell to Farage. Menzies breaks down the story and the investigation leading up to it. Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.
