By
Alan Rusbridger
Summary
This opinion piece argues that Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, must be transparent about a £5 million donation from a billionaire living abroad. The author criticizes Farage for avoiding scrutiny, hiding from journalists, and treating the donation as a private matter despite his bid for high office. The piece contends that transparency is a fundamental requirement for anyone seeking political leadership, and that the public has a right to know the source and conditions of such a large donation.
