UK Reform Party leader faces ethics review over $6.7 million donation from Tether investor

Odaily Planet Daily News The UK Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is investigating UK MP and Reform Party leader Nigel Farage for allegedly failing to declare a £5 million (approximately $6.7 million) personal donation from Tether investor Christopher Harborne.

Christopher Harborne holds 12% of Tether. Nigel Farage stated that the donation was received in 2024 before he declared his candidacy and was used for personal security, so he was not obligated to declare it. According to the UK House of Commons Code of Conduct, new MPs must register interests received in the 12 months prior to their election. If found in breach of the rules, Nigel Farage could face penalties such as an apology, suspension, or expulsion from parliament. (Decrypt)
