Nigel Farage faces official inquiry over £5M Christopher Harborne gift

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is to be the subject of an official inquiry by the UKs Parliamentary Standards Commissioner after it was revealed he received £5 million from Tether shareholder and Reform donor Christopher Harborne.　　The money, which Farage says was a “gift” to help him pay for private security, rather than a political donation, was given in early 2024, just weeks before he decided to stand as a candidate in the general election.　　Farage maintains that the money given to him before he became an MP was a “personal, unconditional gift,” and as such, he claims that he was under no obligation to declare it.　　Opponents, however, say he broke commons rules by failing to declare it in the MPs register of interests once he had been elected.　　According to the Commons code of conduct, MPs “must register all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits (other than earnings) received in the 12 months before their election within one month of their election.”　　It also outlines that “purely personal gifts or benefits” would not have to be registered.　　However, the rules also state that “both the possible motive of the giver and the use to which the gift is to be put should

Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Faces Selling Pressure After Rejection at $0.288 Zone

Tech　　Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Faces Selling Pressure After Rejection at $0.288 ZoneADA trades above major EMAs as bulls defend the broader breakout market structureOpen interest cooled near $550M as leveraged speculation steadily continued fadingNegative exchange netflows signal cautious sentiment despite ADA price stability　　Cardano continued to defend its broader bullish structure this week, even as momentum slowed following a sharp recovery rally. The digital asset recently climbed toward the $0.288 region after breaking out from a prolonged consolidation phase near $0.25. However, buyers encountered stronger resistance near the latest swing high, forcing ADA into a tighter consolidation pattern around $0.273.　　Despite the recent pause, the overall technical setup still favors bulls. ADA continues trading above its major exponential moving averages on the four-hour chart. Consequently, traders still view the broader structure as constructive unless key support zones fail.　　The recent breakout also shifted market sentiment after several weeks of muted price action. Moreover, the rally attracted renewed speculative interest across derivatives markets before leverage cooled again during the latest pullback.　　Key Levels Define ADAs Next Direction　　Technically, ADA remains positioned above the 50 EMA at $0.2744, the 100 EMA at $0.2697, and the 200 EMA at $0.2634. This alignment usually supports bullish continuation when price

Tech　　Keel Infrastructure reports Q1 2026 net loss of $145M, shifts focus to AI and HPC development　　Keel Infrastructure, the company that used to go by Bitfarms, just posted a $145 million net loss for the first quarter of 2026.

The company also absorbed $22 million in costs related to exiting a credit facility. And then there were the expenses tied to pulling out of Latin American operations entirely, including the sale of its Paso Pe site in Paraguay on April 21, 2026.　　Adjusted EBITDA came in at negative $17 million for the quarter.

BNB price eyes double bottom pattern breakout, will it move past $700?

BNB price has formed a double bottom on the weekly chart — May 13 | Source: crypto.news　　Typically, a confirmed breakout above the neckline of a double bottom pattern signals a potential trend reversal and often opens the door for a rally equal to the height of the formation. Based on the current structure, a successful breakout above $680 could position BNB for a move toward the $780–$800 region in the coming months.　　A look at other technical indicators also supports the improving bullish outlook. The MACD histogram has started turning positive after weeks of fading bearish momentum, while the MACD line appears to be curling upward toward a bullish crossover. This suggests that buying momentum may gradually be returning.　　Meanwhile, the RSI has also rebounded from oversold territory and currently sits near the neutral 46 level, indicating that BNB still has room for additional upside before entering overbought conditions.　　The recent recovery is also notable because BNB had been under pressure in recent months amid renewed scrutiny surrounding Binances compliance operations in the U.S. That uncertainty contributed to weaker sentiment earlier this year, though price action now suggests sellers may be losing control near the $580 support zone.　　For now, the key resistance level
