Nigel Farage has apologised for 17 breaches of the MPs’ code of conduct after failing to declare £380,000 of income on time, saying he is an “oddball” who does not do computers.

Nigel Farage not being upfront about his dealings?

I feel like undeclared political funding should simply be forfeit to the treasury upon discovery, probably with a fine on top

This seems like a pretty clear avenue for abuse, and look, our future abuser is using it.
