It appears that Nigel Farage's girlfriend had £885,000 in cash to buy her house in Clacton that definately wasn't for Nigel and definately not bought using his money but her name to dodge £44,000 in Stamp Duty.
All very suspicious and should be investigated.

It does say in UK law, that a person seeking the Aid of a Foreign Government to undermine the UK Government can be considered Treason.
Now he did SPECIFICALLY arrange a meeting with members of a Foreign Government to do exactly such a thing.
