Reform UK is trying to distance Nigel Farage from a crook he was photographed with numerous times

Also pictured with Nathan Gill are Brexit money-man Arron Banks & his sidekick Andy Wigmore. They lied about their multiple meetings with agents of Putin's mafia state & Wigmore sent FBI documents relating to the arrest of money-launderer George Cottrell to a contact at the Russian Embassy.
