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 British MP and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for allegedly failing to declare a personal donation of £5 million (approximately $6.7 million) from Tether investor Christopher Harborne.

Christopher Harborne holds a 12% stake in Tether. Nigel Farage stated that the donation was received in 2024 before he announced 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, Nigel Farage could face sanctions including an apology, suspension, or expulsion from Parliament. (Decrypt)
