Chris Mason: The allegations surrounding Farage have left him vulnerable to his rivals.

Critics, however, point out that he was honorary president of Reform UK and argued in George Cottrell, as the Sunday Times put it, “Why is there a need for people with social media expertise to be employed if they don’t campaign?”
