How Nigel Farage came to rely on a convicted fraudster.
It's July 2016 and a baby-faced British aristocrat called George Cottrell faces arrest in the US, just weeks after he and his boss, Nigel Farage, reach the summit of their careers to date - the Brexit vote.
A decade later ‘Posh George' is still the Reform leader's right-hand man.
This groundbreaking series from The Sunday Times’s Insight team investigates how the politician who could hold the keys to Number 10 came to depend upon a crypto enthusiast, gambler and fraudster.
Both George Cottrell and Nigel Farage deny any wrongdoing.
Host: Gabriel Pogrund, editor of Insight at The Sunday Times.
