Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, is set to face a formal investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog over a significant donation received from a crypto billionaire. The £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne has raised eyebrows, particularly as it was received by Farage weeks before he announced his candidacy in the 2024 general election.
