Farage faces UK standards probe over $7M gift from crypto billionaire
UK Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is reportedly facing a probe over an undeclared donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne that he received before becoming an MP in 2024.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is reportedly facing a parliamentary standards inquiry over whether he failed to declare a 5 million pound ($6.7 million) gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
The UK Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has opened an inquiry into whether Farage breached House of Commons rules by not registering the payment, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Farage said he was under “no obligation” to declare the gift from the Reform party backer, which he received before he was elected to the Commons in 2024. Critics argue he should have registered the payment after becoming a member of parliament.
