More questions surround Farage’s £5m gift after alleged Russian hack
Nigel Farage clashes with Beth Rigby over questions on £5m donation
Labour has challenged Nigel Farage to disclose which authorities are investigating an alleged Russian hack linked to a £5 million gift he reportedly received.
Anna Turley, Labour’s chairwoman, urged the Clacton MP to publicly confirm if he reported the suspected cyber-attack to the police or the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
A spokesperson for Reform UK stated that the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities, but declined further comment due to ongoing investigations.
Farage received £5 million from Thailand-based crypto-entrepreneur Christopher Harborne in 2024, which he previously claimed was for non-political purposes and later as a ‘reward for campaigning for Brexit’.
Former NCSC boss Professor Ciaran Martin appeared to cast doubt on Farage’s analysis of the alleged hack, calling it ‘without any merit’.
