Woofun AI reports that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage characterized a £5 million donation from Tether shareholder Christopher Harborne as a "no-strings-attached gift" intended for personal use. Farage stated the funds are separate from political contributions and denied they influence his advocacy for a UK Bitcoin reserve or digital asset tax reforms. The UK Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is investigating whether Farage should have declared the gift, as newly elected MPs must disclose high-value presents received within the previous year. Harborne, who holds approximately 12% of Tether shares, remains a key financial backer of the party.
