Courting Controversy

40 per cent of Reform UK's MPs are being sued for libel, in Nigel Farage's case by another MP. But Farage is no fool.

Reform's private prosecution might succeed. Or it might fail. Or leave to bring it might be refused. Or the Crown Prosecution Service might take it up, leading to a conviction. Or the CPS might take it up, leading to an acquittal. Or the CPS might take it up and discontinue it.

For Farage and Reform, any of those outcomes would strike gold.
