[UK Labour Party Accuses Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage of Evading Scrutiny Over Tether Billionaire Donation] Odaily Planet Daily News – The UK Labour Party has officially sent a letter to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, accusing him of “evading reasonable scrutiny” regarding a £5 million (approximately $6.7 million) donation made in 2024 by Tether shareholder and billionaire Christopher Harborne. Harborne owns approximately 12% of Tether shares and has a net worth of around $24.4 billion. Labour Party Chair Anna Turley stated that Farage should provide a clear explanation to the public about the use of these funds and related circumstances, rather than continuing to evade inquiries from the media and regulatory bodies. Currently, the UK Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has launched a formal investigation into the matter to assess whether the funds were used for political activities. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also publicly questioned why Farage has long concealed this donation. Data shows that Harborne has donated a total of approximately £12 million ($16 million) to Reform UK, including the largest individual political donation in modern UK political history. Additionally, BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo donated £4 million to the party in the first quarter of 2026, helping Reform UK become one of the most financially robust political parties in the UK.
