Electoral Commission considers investigation into Nigel Farage's undisclosed £5m donation from crypto billionaire

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.

Restore Britain Refunds Crypto Project Donations After Electoral Commission Concerns Raised

Restore Britain, a new political party founded by ex-Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe, has refunded donations worth approximately £26,000 from Britain Token, an anonymous memecoin project. Labour MP Phil Brickell has urged the Electoral Commission to investigate whether the donation from the unidentifiable crypto developers is permissible under UK election laws. The party, endorsed by Elon Musk and polling at 3%, has gone beyond legal requirements to process the refund. The UK government announced plans last month to ban cryptocurrency donations to political parties over concerns about donor anonymity.

Electoral Commission considers investigating £5m donation to Nigel Farage

The Electoral Commission is considering whether to investigate a £5m donation to Nigel Farage before the 2024 general election. The Conservatives alleged in correspondence seen by the BBC that Farage should have declared the donation as a 'regulated donee'. Reform UK insists the money was an unconditional gift given when Farage had not yet committed to standing as an MP, and that he 'wasn't in politics at the time'. The Commission will respond to the Conservatives by 12 May.

Labour demands Jenrick donate £37,500 to charity amid foreign donor fraud allegations

Labour has called on former Conservative MP Robert Jenrick to donate £37,500 to charity after allegations that campaign funds he received in 2024 came from a US-based businessman now convicted of wire fraud. The Electoral Commission investigated claims that £37,500 of £100,000 donated by UK company Spott Fitness ultimately came from Gary Klopfenstein, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud in the US. The commission has referred evidence to the Metropolitan Police. Jenrick denies any knowledge of the source and says he complied with all electoral laws.
