Nigel Farage ‘not getting involved in general election battle for Reform’
NIGEL Farage has told colleagues he is not getting involved in the general election battle for Reform UK, sources told The Sun on Sunday.
The Brexit supremo is thought to have privately decided to stay earning megabucks as a telly host during the campaign.
TV rules mean he would have to step down from his GB News presenting gig if he decided to campaign for Reform UK.
A source said: “Nigel will stay on the telly - which means he won’t be running or getting heavily involved in the election campaign.”
Although Mr Farage denied he had made any final decisions.
He told the Sun on Sunday: “I have not decided what I am going to do.”

Reform UK insiders reckon he would put rocket boosters under their campaign if he threw his full weight behind it.
Nigel has already ruled out actually standing for a seat in Parliament.
But he could still be a big frontman for the party.
