Labour has asked for an investigation into Reform UK’s Richard Tice over claims he may have failed to register a financial benefit under strict parliamentary rules. Labour’s chair, Bridget Phillipson, wrote to Daniel Greenberg, the commissioner for standards in Parliament, requesting an inquiry into reports that Tice might not have properly recorded a financial or material benefit in his Register of Members' Financial Interests. This register is required by the House of Commons to ensure transparency about MPs’ financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest. The concerns stem from reports that Fiona Cottrell, the mother of George Cottrell—often referred to as “posh George” and a close associate of Nigel Farage—transferred over £1 million to Britain Means Business Ltd, a company owned and controlled by Tice. This followed Fiona Cottrell receiving $1.4 million from her son. On the same day, Britain Means Business donated £500,000 to Reform UK, and Reform UK used £200,000 of that donation to pay off a debt it owed to Tisun Investments Ltd, a company ultimately controlled by Tice. Phillipson noted the key issue is whether Tice received a registrable benefit that should have been disclosed and whether the source of that benefit was properly revealed. This follows previous reports that Reform UK has been referred to the police over allegations that it broke political donation rules by having its polling funded by an overseas company. Greenberg is already investigating claims that Farage failed to register a £5 million “gift” from a cryptocurrency billionaire. Phillipson added that if the money from Fiona Cottrell was used—directly or indirectly—to convert Reform’s debt to Tisun into donations, it raises serious questions about whether Tice or a company he controls received a registrable benefit tied to his political activities. Labour argues that his register entry should clearly outline the source, the intermediary, and the practical impact of the transaction. Farage, who triggered a by-election last month to let voters in his constituency decide the issue, has claimed he did not need to declare the £5 million gift from the billionaire, calling it a personal gift. However, if the investigation finds wrongdoing, Farage could face another by-election and possibly be expelled from Parliament. Tice responded to the Labour inquiry by calling it “more twaddle by a desperate Bridget Phillipson,” claiming Labour had itself broken rules by publicizing its complaint. He expressed confidence that all rules had been followed. Reform UK and Greenberg have been contacted for further comment.
