‼️Farage Business opportunities

The day before Mr Farage was photographed with Trump in Trump Tower, American strategist Gerry Gunster, of Goddard Gunster, proposed capitalising on Farage’s celebrity to establish a new international political consultancy.

Goddard Gunster International would be an “international political powerhouse” which was “uniquely positioned with key executive staff that are closely aligned with the new US administration”.

📌The organisation would cover “strategy, lobbying, creative services and paid advocacy,” with “counsel provided by Mr. Nigel Farage”.

📌The proposal suggested a 50/50 “division of profits” between Gerry Gunster and Arron Banks, with a “separate agreement with Nigel Farage”.

The emails suggest that in December 2016, flights to New York for Nigel Farage costing £10,987 were billed to political strategy firm Goddard Gunster, who arranged meetings between Mr Farage and executives from The Coca-Cola Company.

Mr Farage does not appear to have declared any of the visits funded by third parties to the European Parliament. Had Mr Farage been a Westminster MP, he would have had to declare the costs
