Nigel Farage
  • Nigel Farage , the Reform UK leader, is being investigated by the Commons sleaze watchdog for failing to declare a £5 million gift .
  • The donation was made by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne weeks before Mr Farage stood in the 2024 general election.
  • Mr Farage stated he could spend the "unconditional gift" on anything, including cars, and deemed what he did with the money "none of your business".
  • He has previously offered conflicting reasons for the gift, including private security and a reward for Brexit campaigning, but insists he has done nothing wrong.
  • A serious breach finding could lead to his suspension from the Commons and potentially a recall petition for his Clacton seat.
