🗓️ Sep 13 2026 13:35 UTC
Reform UK received £72 million from crypto billionaires as retrospective U.K. donation rules raise questions over the record funding.
➤ Reform UK received £72 million in donations from crypto billionaires Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, which are now facing legal scrutiny due to proposed retrospective donation rules.
➤ The UK government plans to cap overseas-elector donations and potentially ban crypto political donations, creating uncertainty about the legality of these large contributions.
➤ The validity of the donations hinges on the donors' residency and electoral registration status, as well as the final wording of upcoming legislation, with potential for parties to return unlawful funds.
