Questions over a large personal payment remain in focus. Nigel Farage said on Tuesday that a £5m gift from British-Thai crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne was unconditional and could be used however he chose, calling it a private matter during two radio interviews. He also rejected concerns about earlier explanations, saying he wasn't active in politics when he received the money in 2024.
