Farage faces Commons boot over missing £5m crypto tycoon ‘gift’ as Reform surges

The firebrand Clacton MP allegedly breached strict House of Commons rules by failing to declare the eye-watering sum, handed over by Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne just weeks before the 2024 election. Under parliamentary rules, any MP who fails to declare major financial benefits within 28 days of taking their seat faces severe penalties.

Now, Westminster is in absolute meltdown as rivals demand answers over how Farage completely shifted his story.

While the Reform boss initially claimed the millions were an unconditional personal gift purely to keep him “safe and secure” with a lifetime private security detail, he has now raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. In a stunning U-turn, he told reporters the staggering sum was actually a “reward for 27 years of campaigning for Brexit.”
