McMurdock investigation: Reform must come clean about what they knew

5 Jul 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting after the Sunday Times' report, that James McMurdock is alleged to have borrowed tens of thousands of pounds under the government’s Bounce Back loans scheme during the Covid pandemic, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

"Nigel Farage has serious questions to answer.

"The Reform Party claim to be different to the Conservatives yet this shows they are already the same when it comes to sleaze and scandal. In the last year alone they’ve faced a new crisis almost every week continuing the Conservative's terrible track record of chaos and incompetence.

"Farage and Reform must come clean about whether they knew about this before McMurdock was selected as their candidate."
