Farage under mounting pressure to prove Russian hack claim
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, faces pressure to substantiate his claim that Russian state-sponsored hackers disclosed a £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. Reform UK cited analysis by 'counter-espionage experts' suggesting hostile actors linked to Moscow compromised Farage's phone and accounts via spear phishing before The Guardian revealed the gift.
