Mars Finance reports that the UK Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is investigating UK MPs and Reform Party leader Nigel Farage over allegations that he failed to declare a personal donation of 5 million pounds (about $6.7 million) from Tether investor Christopher Harborne. Christopher Harborne holds a 12% stake in Tether. Nigel Farage said the donation was received in 2024 before he announced his candidacy, and was used to ensure personal safety, so he had no obligation to declare it. Under the UK House of Commons Code of Conduct, new MPs must register interests received in the 12 months prior to taking office. If found to have breached the rules, Nigel Farage could face penalties such as an apology, suspension, or expulsion from Parliament.
