LBC Presenter Angers Reform's Zia Yusuf By Asking If Nigel Farage 'Is a Russian Asset'
Shelagh Fogarty and Zia Yusuf on LBC.
A presenter on LBC angered Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf by asking him if Nigel Farage “is a Russian asset”.
Shelagh Fogarty’s question came after the party’s former leader in Wales was convicted of taking bribes from the Kremlin.
Nathan Gill, who was also a senior member of Ukip and the Brexit Party alongside Farage, was jailed for 10-and-a-half years last week.
During her Budget speech on Wednesday, Rachel Reeves poked fun at Farage over the story, saying: “We are ramping up sanctions on Russia and we are freezing known Russian assets.
“But let me be clear, I don’t actually mean the Right Honourable Member for Clacton.”
