It is.
We're having a second go because things are moving so swiftly this week.
Yes and no.
In some ways it was unexpected.
You just don't expect an MP to step aside like this.
And we're talking about someone who's spent their entire career trying to get elected to Parliament.
But at the same time, it was also classic Farage, sort of a rabbit out of the hat and to try and distract, distort and also take the initiative again.
So the pressure Naisal Faraj has been under really relates to a £5 million payment which was made to him, a gift which was given to him and which the Guardian revealed, which he did not declare.
And that came from Christopher Harbourn, who's a Thai-based crypto billionaire and a donor to reform.
Secondly, the other individual is someone who has been at Nigel Farage's side for many, many years, George Cottrell, a.k.a.
Post George, a young publicly school educated minor aristocrat who, you know, variously has been described as Nigel Farage's bag man and, you know, his advisor in so many matters.
I believe the US term is wire fraud.
He was detained by the authorities.
The FBI were involved and he did serve time.
George Cottrell faced 20 years in jail for 21 counts relating to money laundering, fraud, blackmail and extortion.
But he eventually brokered a plea deal.
He admitted guilt to a charge of wire fraud and he ended up serving just eight months in prison.
Reportedly, some sort of deal was done
And he's now back in the UK and by all kinds actually angling maybe for a pardon, which would allow him to go back to the US.
But he's someone who hasn't been shy about actually talking on his own terms about his wrongdoing.
