Reform UK Receives Two Record £36M Crypto Donations
The donations, matched in 48 hours, surpass the previous party record and come as police and parliamentary investigators review Reform UK’s finances.
- On Saturday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage secured £72 million in donations after cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne each contributed £36 million within 48 hours.
- Delo and Harborne described their contributions as a "philanthropic gift to our country," front-loading payments to bypass potential donation caps in the Representation of the People Bill.
- These donations shatter the previous record of £10 million bequeathed to the Conservatives by John Sainsbury, with donors aiming to ensure a "fair fight and a level playing field."
- The Metropolitan Police has opened a criminal investigation into allegations the party violated rules on foreign funding; Reform UK denies any wrongdoing, with Farage asserting the party accepted no "dodgy money."
- Campaign group Spotlight on Corruption warned the influx threatens to "Americanise" British politics, prompting renewed calls from Labour MPs for stricter donation caps as the House of Lords prepares Monday review of overseas donation limits.
