Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is facing an investigation by the Commons sleaze watchdog over a £5m (€5.7m) gift from a party donor.

Mr Farage was referred to parliamentary commissioner for standards Daniel Greenberg over the undeclared gift from Thailand-based cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne received in 2024.
