Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nigel Farage, leader of the UK's Reform Party, is facing allegations of a conflict of interest from the opposition. He reportedly received a £5 million personal donation from crypto investor Christopher Harborne in 2024. Subsequently, in May 2025, the Reform Party proposed a draft bill to regulate the crypto industry, aiming to reduce the stamp duty on crypto transactions from 24% to 10%, establish a national Bitcoin reserve, and lower capital gains tax on crypto assets. Farage has admitted to receiving the donation, while the Reform Party maintains that policy-making is unrelated to the donor. Furthermore, Harborne donated another £12 million to the party last year, and crypto businessman Ben Delo donated £4 million this year. Farage currently faces charges of violating House of Commons rules, which could result in suspension and trigger a by-election. (Financial Times)
