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

Nigel Farage stated the donation was received in 2024 before he announced his candidacy and was used for personal security, deeming it not subject to declaration.

If found in violation, Nigel Farage could face penalties including an apology, suspension, or expulsion from Parliament. (Decrypt)
