Nigel Farage Interviewed by Standards Commissioner over £5m Gift
The commissioner interviewed Nigel Farage for 30 minutes over whether he should have declared a £5 million gift linked to Reform UK donations.
- Reform UK leader Nigel Farage confirmed he was interviewed last month by parliamentary commissioner for standards Daniel Greenberg regarding a £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
- Under Commons rules, new MPs must register gifts exceeding £300 received within the previous 12 months, unless the gift "could not be reasonably thought by others" to involve political activities.
- Farage insisted the donation was non-political, maintaining he did nothing wrong; he told the Sunday Times he expected the reaction to be "far worse" but felt the magnitude earned "some grudging respect."
- Harborne is one of two crypto billionaires, including Ben Delo, who donated £72 million to Reform, and these twin £36 million gifts have reignited calls for a blanket cap on political donations.
- The 30-minute interview occurred at the Palace of Westminster last month; separately, Harborne, previously based in Thailand, reportedly registered to vote in Hampshire in June.
