Nigel Farage faces standards probe into £5m gift

The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is investigating Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, over a £5m gift from billionaire Christopher Harborne. Farage claims he was not obligated to declare the gift as it was given before he became an MP in 2024. However, opponents argue he should have registered it in the MPs' register of interests. The rules state that new MPs must declare all financial interests received in the 12 months prior to their election.
