Who is George Cottrell? Known to some as "Posh George", he's been one of Nigel Farage's closest allies for years. But after fresh reports raised questions over support allegedly provided to Farage before he became an MP, Cottrell has found himself at the centre of the story.

This video looks at who George Cottrell is, his relationship with Nigel Farage, his US conviction for wire fraud, and why the controversy matters for Reform UK.

Nigel Farage denies any wrongdoing and says he complied with parliamentary rules.
