Tice Under Fire Over Undeclared Loan | London News

Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, is under fire after receiving an undeclared £78,100 loan from George Cottrell—an aide to Nigel Farage—raising fresh questions about political finance and transparency. The loan, given months after Tice’s election, was flagged by bankers and may have been offered on favorable terms, with Cottrell’s Montenegrin residency potentially making him an impermissible donor. Tice insists it was a corporate loan unrelated to politics and that his financial disclosures are accurate. A Liberal Democrat MP has now formally requested an investigation, adding to the mounting scrutiny as Farage’s own inquiry remains on hold—though Farage is now running in an August byelection. This latest development deepens the debate over ethics and financial accountability in UK politics. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
