Nigel Farage said a £5 million ($6.7 million) gift from Christopher Harborne was an “unconditional gift” that he could spend as he wished, sharpening focus on a parliamentary standards investigation into whether it should have been declared after he became an MP in 2024. Harborne, a Tether shareholder, also donated separately to Reform UK. Neither payment was made in crypto, adding detail to a case centered on political disclosure rules, transparency concerns and the treatment of gifts to lawmakers.
