ME News reports that on July 3 (UTC+8), Labour MP Phil Brickell has reported UK Reform Party leader Nigel Farage to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for allegedly lobbying the Bank of England, alleging that the crypto policies he promoted may benefit his largest donor, Christopher Harborne, a major Tether investor. The core of the report involves a private meeting last September, during which Farage allegedly urged Governor Andrew Bailey to abandon the plan to issue a central bank digital currency, "Britcoin." Afterwards, the Bank of England indeed withdrew the previously proposed £20k individual stablecoin holding cap. This investigation focuses on whether there is a connection between this donation and his lobbying activities. (Source: Foresight News)
