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.

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.

A Metro analysis couldn’t work out the badly scrawled second line but it appears to include a swear word.

In 2025, an Afghan migrant was jailed after posting a TikTok video threatening to kill Farage, making gun gestures and saying he would ‘pop, pop, pop’ Farage.

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.
