Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has defended a $6.7 million gift from Tether shareholder Christopher Harborne, stating it does not require disclosure and has been legally reviewed. Farage clarified that the gift was for personal security and was received before his parliamentary candidacy. Harborne also contributed £12 million to Reform UK, including a record £9 million personal political donation. Despite UK government restrictions on cryptocurrency donations, all contributions from Harborne were non-crypto.
