Suella Braverman, former Tory home secretary now Reform UK's education spokesperson, has defended Nigel Farage's decision not to declare a £5m donation from Christopher Harborne, saying it was a 'private' matter due to security concerns. Meanwhile, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised Farage as 'not down to earth' for receiving such a large gift. The comments come as Labour faces potential losses of up to 1,850 seats in English local elections next week, with party figures acknowledging Starmer must listen to voters.
