The Reform UK leader said he was left “deeply concerned” after counter-espionage experts allegedly concluded his devices had been compromised using sophisticated “spear phishing” techniques commonly associated with hostile state actors. According to party sources, Farage became suspicious after details of the donation from Thailand-based businessman Christopher Harborne were leaked to the media despite allegedly being known by only a handful of people. A Reform source claimed forensic analysis pointed to attackers “almost certainly linked to Moscow.” Donation Now At Centre Of Commons ProbeThe £5 million payment is already under investigation by Parliament’s standards watchdog. The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is examining whether Farage breached Commons rules by failing to declare the gift before entering Parliament in 2024. Farage insists the money was used for private security while he was not an MP and therefore did not qualify as a political donation requiring declaration. Harborne donated roughly £12 million to Reform UK overall last year and previously gave major sums to the Conservatives under Boris Johnson, as well as to the Brexit Party. MPs found guilty of serious breaches can face suspension from the House of Commons, potentially triggering a recall petition and by-election. Russia Claims Escalate Political RowFarage suggested his strong support for NATO and Ukraine may have made him a target for Russian intelligence services. Harborne also reportedly drew Moscow’s attention after accompanying Johnson on a high-profile visit to Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion. Farage told reporters: “These actions by Russia are deeply concerning and highlight the threat they pose to British security.” The allegations have intensified tensions between Reform UK and The Guardian, which first reported details surrounding the donation. Farage questioned whether Reform could continue cooperating with the newspaper, though he did not accuse it of involvement in any hacking. The Guardian strongly rejected the claims, accusing Farage of attempting to distract from legitimate scrutiny of his finances. Ministers Demand Answers Over Russian LinksThe controversy widened further after John Healey demanded assurances that none of Harborne’s wealth was linked to Russian state-connected energy business. Healey reportedly asked whether AML Global — Harborne’s aviation fuel company — had fully complied with sanctions linked to Russia’s energy sector. The Defence Secretary also questioned whether growing instability in the Middle East could financially benefit the firm. Growing Fears Over Foreign Cyber ThreatsIf confirmed, the alleged hack would add Farage to a growing list of senior British political figures believed to have been targeted by foreign intelligence operations. In recent years, figures including Liz Truss and Boris Johnson have reportedly suffered major cyber breaches linked to hostile states. A senior adviser to Farage, George Cottrell, is also said to have had a phone “critically compromised” while working in Montenegro, with US intelligence sources allegedly blaming Moscow. The claims come amid mounting warnings from British security agencies about increasingly aggressive cyber operations by Russia, China and Iran targeting Western politicians and democratic institutions.

A new report by Queen Mary University of London and campaign group Defend Our Juries claims authorities in England and Wales are now routinely using prison sentences, lengthy pre-trial detention and sweeping legal powers to suppress protest movements. The researchers argue that acts of civil disobedience which once rarely resulted in custody are now increasingly leading to long jail terms. According to the report, 286 climate and Palestine solidarity activists have been imprisoned for protest-related actions, amounting to a combined total of 136 years behind bars. Protesters Jailed Before Trial For MonthsThe study found the average prison term among recorded cases was 28 weeks, with around one in three protesters jailed for six months or longer. One in five reportedly received sentences exceeding a year. Researchers said pre-trial detention — known as remand — is increasingly being used as a weapon against activists. In around 60 per cent of cases examined, protesters ultimately received sentences shorter than the time they had already spent locked up awaiting trial. The report highlighted the case of the so-called “Filton 24,” linked to protests at a factory near Bristol operated by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Some defendants reportedly spent up to 18 months in custody before trial, despite standard pre-trial detention limits normally lasting six months. Judges And Injunctions Under FireProfessor David Whyte, co-author of the report, argued the punishments are becoming “exceptional” and politically targeted. He claimed courts are imposing unusually severe sentences specifically against protesters involved in civil disobedience movements. The report also criticised the growing use of contempt of court rulings linked to breaches of civil injunctions. Researchers warned private companies and local authorities are increasingly using injunctions to criminalise protest activity, effectively allowing civil disputes to result in jail terms. One example cited involved 69 people imprisoned following injunctions obtained by Warwickshire Borough Council during protests connected to Just Stop Oil at the Kingsbury oil terminal. Some protesters were reportedly jailed for actions as minor as holding placards in restricted areas. Judiciary Defends Sentencing DecisionsThe judiciary has rejected claims of political bias. A spokesperson said judges operate independently and impose sentences according to laws passed by Parliament and guidance issued by the Sentencing Council. The spokesperson added that courts assess each case individually, weighing aggravating and mitigating factors before handing down punishments. But critics argue Britain’s expanding anti-protest laws, tougher policing powers and increasingly aggressive legal tactics are creating a chilling effect on political dissent. The report claims the result is a justice system increasingly willing to imprison activists not for violence, but for disruptive protest against climate policies and the war in Gaza.
