Nigel Farage reveals his home was firebombed as he opens up about 'dangers' as Reform UK leader
The Reform UK leader said the attack was an outright arson attempt, and a separate donor gift covered security after repeated threats.

- Luckily, the fire burned itself out in the porch while Farage was away, though police investigations have yet to identify any suspects in the incident.
- Fearful that publicizing the arson would necessitate further security, the Clacton MP previously kept the attack quiet, stating he feels "very much on my own" regarding state protection.

- Harborne also donated £9 million to Reform last December, the largest single donation to a UK political party, amid a history of attacks on Farage including milkshakes thrown at him.
