LONDON: The British parliamentary sleaze watchdog will probe hard-right politician Nigel Farage’s non-disclosure of a £5 million gift from a billionaire donor to his party, UK media reported Wednesday. The probe comes as the parliament has tightened rules on political donations and after Farage’s anti-immigration Reform UK party scored massive gains in local elections. The parliament’s standards commissioner investigation concerns a gift from Thailand-based aviation entrepreneur and crypto investor Christopher Harborne, who last year donated £12 million to Reform UK.
