00:07Nigel Farage says the gifts comply with current law, but acknowledges they could breach proposed rules.

00:18with changes potentially applying retrospectively to March.
00:22The legislation is being considered by peers in the House of Lords.
00:25Mr Farage has criticised the changes, saying donations already lawful should not later be declared illegal.
00:32Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner backs tighter controls,
00:37saying individuals should not buy influence in democracy.
