Leader of the UK Reform Party accused of unlawfully lobbying the central bank against the digital pound, possibly linked to undeclared donations
Foresight News reports, according to Decrypt, Labour MP Phil Brickell has filed a complaint with the parliamentary standards commissioner regarding Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's alleged lobbying of the Bank of England. The accusation claims that the cryptocurrency policies he promoted may benefit his largest donor, Tether's primary investor Christopher Harborne. The core of the complaint centers on a private meeting held last September, at which Farage allegedly urged Governor Andrew Bailey to abandon plans for issuing the central bank digital currency "Britcoin." Subsequently, the Bank of England did indeed revoke the previously proposed £20,000 personal stablecoin holding cap. The investigation is focused on whether there is a connection between this donation and his lobbying activities.
