EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.
Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.
But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

Imagine for a second that a real estate conference took place in London where Russian occupiers sold stolen Ukrainian land and property.
You have to imagine, because that rightly wouldn't have been allowed. If it's stolen Palestinian land though, that's apparently totally fine.
Woah.
Labour Lord Maurice Glasman met with a German far-right leader - who said not all Nazi SS members were criminals.
Incredible scoop from @ShehabKhan!

WATCH: Hillary Clinton said that while she was Secretary of State, Netanyahu and his government repeatedly pushed the U.S. to support military action against Iran.
“It was relentless. It was a constant push.”
She recalled Israeli officials trying to convey urgency by saying:
“Our planes are on the tarmac.”
Her response:
“Well, good luck.”
When asked whether she felt she was being played by an ally that receives enormous U.S. aid, she replied:
“All the time.”
A Medway councillor who quit the Conservatives to join Reform UK has now left the party, calling his decision to defect "the biggest mistake of my life".

🚨 BREAKING: Lebanon files UN Security Council complaint accusing I$rael of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention in the south
Lab tests from Aita al-Shaab, Naqoura, and Dhaira confirmed catastrophic levels of Glyphosate—a cancer-linked chemical—in agricultural soil.
Normal farming levels would show 0.5 to 2 mcg/g but tests on soil in South Lebanon show 22,750 mcg/g, 11,000 times above safe levels
It has been labeled by some as a deliberate war crime designed to permanently destroy arable border lands.
Here is our report from the scene filmed in February
Protesters gathered outside an Israeli real estate event in west London, with critics alleging that some of the properties being marketed are located in occupied Palestinian territories. The demonstration led to arrests and renewed calls for the UK government to ban such events.
I’m in Dulwich. One of the more expensive areas of London, supposedly a global city, and I’m getting worse mobile phone reception that I did in Kabul a decade ago. I pay for two contracts: @O2 and @EE and neither is reliable so I can’t work.
Mobile phones are useless in vast areas of Britain and have got worse. You can never work on a train, unlike in France. But we’re spending £4.5 billion in bike lanes and crossings.
This government is prioritising virtue signalling vanity projects when we need infrastructure urgently.
If The New York Times got its hands on leaked audio recordings from the Situation Room, then we have a massive national security crisis on our hands. That very likely means our enemies know everything that’s been said in that room, at least since Trump took over.
This should be a massive scandal.
getting a fast-tracked 3-year jail sentence handed down by an AI judge for a hallucinated crime with no jury or right of appeal. the future of Britain is here baby
