Get you up to speed: Nigel Farage fears graffiti calling for his ‘assassination’ amid £5m questions | News Politics
Nigel Farage shared a photo of graffiti threatening his life, stating, “Assassinate Nigel Farage,” on Facebook. The incident occurred on a wall in Folkestone, Kent, where Farage expressed concern over the ongoing threats he faces.
The investigation by Parliament’s standards commissioner into Nigel Farage centres on a £5 million donation from entrepreneur Christopher Harborne, which critics argue should have been declared. Harborne, who has contributed over £25 million to Reform UK, recently registered to vote in the UK ahead of the 2024 general election.
Nigel Farage expressed concern over a threat to his life after posting an image of graffiti demanding his assassination, stating, “This is what we are up against.” He also confirmed that his party, Reform UK, would “gladly” accept further donations from billionaire Christopher Harborne, amidst ongoing scrutiny over a previous £5 million donation linked to his security.
What remains unclear — It is not specified what security measures, if any, are being taken in response to the assassination threat against Nigel Farage.
Nigel Farage raises concerns over graffiti threatening his life amid £5m donation inquiry
Nigel Farage is worried about a threat to his life as he claimed he would accept more donations from billionaires despite the controversy threatening to engulf him.
In a message to his followers on Facebook, the Reform UK leader posted an image of an alleged threat to his life scrawled on a Kent wall on Monday.
It reads ‘Assassinate Nigel Farage.’
He added: ‘Graffiti calling for my assassination in Folkestone. This is what we are up against.’
A third line of text was difficult to decipher, but appears to include the word f**k.

The Reform UK leader, who has had milkshakes thrown at him in the past, has been in hot water over a £5million donation he has claimed was for security for the rest of his life.
He then claimed it was a reward for getting Brexit over the line and he could spend it on Ferraris if he liked.
Farage is currently being investigated by Parliament’s standards commissioner over the gift, which critics say he should have declared.
The British-Thai crypto businessman gave £5 million to Mr Farage in the run up to the 2024 general election, before he announced he would stand as an MP in the poll.
He said his party would ‘gladly’ accept further donations from billionaire backer Christopher Harborne, who has registered to vote in the UK.
Mr Harborne has donated more than £25 million to Reform UK, the political party which Mr Farage leads.
The entrepreneur has registered to vote in Britain, and Mr Farage said he was ‘pleased’ Mr Harborne had done so.
Asked if Reform UK would accept further donations from Mr Harborne if they were offered, Mr Farage said: ‘Gladly. Of course.’
He continued: ‘Of course we would and we’re very pleased he (Mr Harborne) has re-registered back in the UK.’

‘Cheer up, you caught the bad guy,’ says killer Virginia McCullough as she is arrested for murdering her parents
A woman who murdered her parents “in cold blood” before hiding them in makeshift tombs for four years told officers to “cheer up, you caught the bad guy” as she was arrested in her home.
Virginia McCullough, 36, poisoned her father John McCullough, 70, with prescription medication and fatally stabbed her mother Lois McCullough, 71, shortly afterwards in 2019.
She ran up large debts on credit cards in her parents’ names and after their deaths, she continued to spend their pensions until she was finally caught in 2023.
In body-worn video footage released by police, a handcuffed – and eerily calm – McCullough told officers: “I did know that this would kind of come eventually.
“It’s proper that I serve my punishment.”
She said she had slipped something into her father’s drink then put his body under a bed on the ground floor, and put her mother’s body in an upstairs wardrobe.
McCullough, having been arrested on suspicion of double murder, told an officer: “Cheer up, at least you’ve caught the bad guy.”
She added: “I know I don’t seem 100% evil.”
At the police station, she told officers where a kitchen knife was, which she described as a “murder weapon”, and a hammer which she said “will still have blood on it”.
McCullough, of Pump Hill, Chelmsford, Essex, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Friday with a minimum term of 36 years at Chelmsford Crown Court, after she admitted to their murders between 17 and 20 June 2019 at an earlier hearing at the same court.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard how she hid their bodies in makeshift tombs at the family home in Great Baddow in Essex, then told persistent lies to cover her tracks.
The court heard she cancelled family arrangements and frequently told doctors and relatives her parents were unwell, on holiday or away on lengthy trips.
But concerns over Mr and Mrs McCullough’s welfare were raised in September 2023 by a GP at their registered practice, and Essex County Council’s safeguarding team referred these to police.
The GP had not seen the couple for some time and said Mr McCullough had failed to collect medication and attend scheduled appointments. It was found McCullough had frequently cancelled appointments, using a range of excuses to explain her father’s absence.
Police said a missing persons investigation was initially launched and McCullough lied to officers, claiming her parents were travelling and would be returning in October.
It became a murder investigation, and when officers forced entry to the house in Pump Hill on September 15 2023, McCullough confessed that her parents’ bodies were in the house and that she had killed them.
Nicola Rice, a specialist prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “McCullough callously and viciously killed both of her parents before concealing their bodies in makeshift tombs within their home address.
“She spent the next four years manipulating and lying to family members, medical staff, financial institutions, and the police, spending her parents’ money and accruing large debts in their name.”
She added: “This was a truly disturbing case, which has left behind it a trail of devastation, and I can only hope that the sentence passed today will help those who loved and cared for Lois and John begin to heal.”

Defense alliance NATO chief Mark Rutte has met US President-elect Donald Trump to discuss global security issues, according to a NATO spokesperson.
The meeting took place in Palm Beach, Florida.
During his first term as US president, 2017-2020, Trump pushed for European NATO countries to spend more on defense and described the alliance’s cost-sharing as unfair to the US.
Rutte took over as NATO chief from Norwegian Jens Stoltenberg in November.
Before taking office in January, Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth for the post of defense secretary, which has raised eyebrows among many allies.
Hegseth, 44, has served as an infantry captain in Iraq and Afghanistan, but has no senior military or government officer experience.

Multiple missiles were fired in an airstrike towards a densely populated part of Lebanon’s capital early on Saturday.
The huge airstrike targeted Beirut’s Basta neighbourhood, and no prior warnings were given by the Israeli military. The largely residential area was struck last month.
At least one violent explosion was heard across the city, Reuters witnesses said, and plumes of smoke could be seen. Scenes of massive destruction at the site were shared online, including a massive crater in the ground.
“Beirut, the capital, woke up to a horrific massacre, as the Israeli enemy’s air force completely destroyed an eight-story residential building with five missiles on Al-Mamoun Street in Basta,” the state-run National News Agency reported.
The health ministry put the initial death toll at four, with 23 wounded. The number is expected to climb in the coming hours as search and rescue efforts continue.
It came after a long day of Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which have been non-stop since last week.
The cross-border fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group escalated into a full-blown war in mid-September.
Israel has bombed southern Lebanon, Beirut’s southern suburbs and the eastern Beqaa region, and has sent ground troops across the border. Hezbollah has continued to fire rockets deeper into Israel.
