Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey stated he would have postponed a meeting with Nigel Farage if the Reform UK leader’s £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne had been under investigation at the time. Bailey confirmed he does not regret the September meeting, which occurred before the donation was revealed by the Guardian in April.
