- Nigel Farage has broken parliamentary rules on his first day back as an MP by filming a social media video on the roof of the Houses of Parliament, a move understood to be taken without permission.
- Parliamentary authorities require permission for any filming on the estate, with the roof classed as a sensitive area due to security and personal safety risks.
- A House of Commons spokesperson said that unauthorised filming is prohibited and the Serjeant at Arms will contact the Reform UK leader regarding the breach.
- Farage posted the video shortly after being sworn back into Parliament following his by-election victory in Clacton.
- His return to Parliament has also triggered the reopening of a parliamentary standards investigation into a £5m gift he received from cryptocurrency tycoon Christopher Harborne.
