Reform UK leader reported over illegal crypto lobbying allegations

Nigel Farage, leader of the hard-right Reform UK party, has been reported to a parliamentary watchdog over allegations of illegal crypto lobbying, Decrypt reported. The complaint alleges that Farage lobbied the Bank of England on cryptocurrency policy after receiving an undeclared donation of £5 million ($6.7 million) from Christopher Harborne, a major shareholder in Tether. Both Farage and Harborne have denied the allegations, stating the funds were a private donation with no conditions attached. Parliamentary authorities are now investigating a potential breach of lobbying regulations.
