The UK elections watchdog is considering whether to investigate an undisclosed £5m donation received by Nigel Farage before he announced his candidacy at the last general election. The Electoral Commission said it was "aware of this matter and are considering it" after the Guardian revealed the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne gave the money to Farage in June 2024. Farage, who became an MP for the first time in July 2024, had previously stated he did not intend to stand but reversed his position within weeks of receiving the personal gift. The Conservatives have referred Farage to both the Electoral Commission and the parliamentary standards commissioner, alleging he breached rules by failing to declare the donation.
