## Resource

Setting up the stories of the next seven days… As England fans shake off their Mexico hangover, another cash scandal hits Farage, who denies “doing any wrongdoing” (?). How will Naughty Nigel handle new revelations about undeclared funding from convicted criminal “Posh George” Cottrell, while still dealing with the headache of his £5m gift from a crypto baron? Plus: NATO’s conference in Ankara; crunch time for Marine le Pen; Trump names yet another thing after himself; and England face Norway on Saturday. Gavin Esler and Andrew Harrison cast the runes of the week ahead. (How come we never thought of “Orangemandias” before?) • Hear Gavin Esler on ⁠This Is Not A Drill⁠ every week.
