Yeah. This guy is a Bad Egg. From the New Statesman
A few days before George Cottrell found his face splashed across the front page of the *Sunday Times*, the baby-faced friend of Nigel Farage attended a lunch at the Boisdale in London's Belgravia, a restaurant beloved by the Reform UK leader. The lunch was for supporters of Forest, the tobacco lobbying firm, and Cottrell was in good spirits, though he was agitated by the slow service and complained to his fellow guests that the waitress really should have known his drinks order, given that he is a regular. When she returned, he told her to bring his next drink in precisely seven minutes, the request made by the ruthless banker played by Matthew McConaughey at the start of *The Wolf of Wall Street*, as one guest noted with amusement. Cottrell, otherwise known as "Posh George", has been by Farage's side for a decade, and Farage has been by his, including when Cottrell was arrested a decade ago. He served eight months in US prison for wire fraud and then returned to Farage's side.
