Nigel Farage is facing questions about why he did not declare his use of a donor's helicopter to travel around Britain for rallies. The helicopter, which was used by Farage as recently as Friday after local elections across Britain, is the property of a company owned by Lorenzo Zaccheo, a businessman who gave Reform 25,000 last year. Farage was pictured in May last year getting off the helicopter in Kent after his party won the county council elections there, and data shows that it has travelled to and from other locations on dates when Reform rallies were being held.
“Zack apologises sincerely for the unintentional mistake.” The party spokesperson said Polanski had “taken steps to pay any council tax he may be found to owe”. Polanski has been under pressure to explain whether the houseboat, moored at a marina in Hackney, had been his primary residence. A boat is liable for council tax when used as a person's “sole or main residence”, according to the tax lawyer Dan Neidle.
