UK Reform Leader Accused of Illegal BOE Lobbying Against Digital Pound
2026-07-03 21:14

Woofun AI reports that Labour MP Phil Brickell filed a complaint with the Parliament’s Standards Commissioner against Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Reform Party. The allegation asserts that Farage engaged in unauthorized lobbying of the Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey during a private meeting in September last year. Farage is accused of urging the abandonment of the "Britcoin" central bank digital currency plan, an action potentially linked to benefits for Christopher Harborne, a major donor and key Tether investor. The BOE subsequently removed the proposed £20,000 per-person stablecoin holding limit. The investigation seeks to determine if undeclared grants influenced these lobbying efforts.
