Summary
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, is reportedly worried about facing a by-election if found to have breached parliamentary rules over an undeclared £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. The investigation by Parliament's standards commissioner could result in sanctions ranging from an apology to a suspension of 10 days or more, which would trigger a by-election.
