The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

@Bbmorg Yes!

It's beyond a joke that Gorton and Denton Reform candidate Matt Goodwin will be in the high court tomorrow for alleged election fraud 🫣

@smithyyork @grandoperayork @GylesB1 Agreed! A lovely afternoon x

[Helen Marson @marsonhels]

@GylesB1 @grandoperayork I’m so glad they did! We’ve just shared a wonderful afternoon with you in York!

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙

You know what to do!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

@JLizard31 @Swohtz @LongTimeHistory @LqLana I know… but we will have to play the cards we hold. It’s not Europe that caused the situation.

Robert Jenrick on Farage:

"I don't think Nigel is the bloke you want to have running your kids' schools or running your local hospital or... trust your savings, your pension, your small business to." (September 2025)

"I don't think he's a serious politician." (Oct 2024)

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Nigel Farage on GB News in 2022: "I thought Zahawi had principles. Tonight we learn he's just about climbing that greasy pole, as so many of them are"

Nadhim Zahawi has just joined Reform.

@LucyTCWife Surely it’s more embarrassing for the States!!

@Nigel_Farage Nathan Gill jailed for 10 years for Russian bribes worth tens of thousands of pounds. The leader of your party in Wales. Think we’d rather hear more about that from you please.

I find it unpardonable that Ryanair has refused to refund Stephen Crean , 61, who couldn’t take a flight to Austria to watch his beloved Nottingham Forest due to his mutiple knife injuries incurred courageously saving the lives of passengers on that Huntington train.
Ryanair simply, and cruelly, told him that he should have taken out insurance cover.
Memo to Mr O’Leary; This is a time that you should tell your people to throw the commercial rule book out the window , embrace a hero, make the refund and offer to fly him around Europe for free all next year.
We need more Mr Creans and less jobsworths who don’t understand what courage looks like.
One day a Mr Crean might save one of your family or one of your colleagues.
