据《卫报》独家报道，在2024年大选前夕，乔治·科特勒（George Cottrell）虽未被正式任命或拥有官方职位——这一点得到了改革党的否认 [1] ——但仍被常规性地介绍为奈杰尔·法拉奇的首席幕僚 [1]。
与党派关系密切的人士指出，科特勒实际上承担了多项具体职责：他负责安排车辆接送新当选的议员，并支付了筹款午餐的相关费用 [1]。
According to an exclusive report by the Guardian, George Cottrell—a convicted fraudster—was routinely introduced as Nigel Farage's chief of staff prior to the 2024 general election [1]. Despite Reform UK denying that he held any official position within the party during this period, individuals closely associated with the group stated that Cottrell arranged vehicle transport for newly elected MPs using a Land Rover and covered costs for fundraising lunches [1].
