Private jet used for Nigel Farage Chagos stunt linked to Reform mega-donor

Exclusive: Plane that flew Reform leader to Maldives appears to be linked to billionaire Christopher Harborne

Nigel Farage’s attempt to reach the Chagos Islands military base was made on a private jet that appears to be linked to Reform UK’s mega-donor Christopher Harborne, it has emerged.

Harborne, who has donated £12m to Reform UK, has links to two charter planes that flew Farage to the Maldives and, separately, a group of Chagossian campaigners to Sri Lanka, before they attempted to reach the archipelago by boat.
