[UK Reform Party Leader Farage Accused of Conflict of Interest After Receiving £5 Million Donation and Promoting Crypto Tax Cut Proposal]
Odaily Planet Daily News – UK Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has been accused by opposition parties of a conflict of interest. In 2024, he received a personal donation of £5 million from crypto investor Christopher Harborne. Subsequently, in May 2025, the Reform Party proposed a regulatory draft for the crypto industry, aiming to reduce the crypto transaction stamp duty 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 stated that policy-making is unrelated to donors. Additionally, Harborne donated £12 million to the party last year, and crypto entrepreneur Ben Delo contributed £4 million this year. Farage is currently facing allegations of violating House of Commons rules, which could, in severe cases, lead to suspension of his MP status and trigger a by-election. (Financial Times)
