Nigel Farage appeared on Russell Brand's US podcast nine months after the comedian was investigated by police over allegations of sexual assault, the Guardian has learned.
The Reform UK leader has criticised Labour for 'cosying up to' and 'promoting' Brand a decade ago, after the comedian was sentenced this week to more than 10 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
Why this matters: The appearance raises questions about Farage's judgment and his willingness to associate with individuals accused of serious crimes.
What this means for you: This may indicate that some politicians are willing to overlook or downplay allegations of abuse in order to advance their own interests.
