What are the latest allegations about Nigel Farage's funding?

What are the latest allegations about Nigel Farage's funding? focuses on fresh scrutiny of Nigel Farage’s finances amid a standards watchdog investigation. The allegations center on a reported £5m gift Farage received from British-Thai crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. A Sunday Times report says Farage’s longtime aide, George Cottrell, funded aspects of his operation, including staffing, security and housing. It claims Cottrell recruited and paid three social-media staff before the general election and continued allowing Farage to use a five-storey Georgian townhouse near Buckingham Palace. Rules at the time required new MPs to register gifts over £300 unless they could not reasonably be seen as linked to political activity. The Liberal Democrats have written to the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate Cottrell-provided gifts as well. Reform UK, through Robert Jenrick, says no rules were broken because support occurred before Farage became an MP.
