Reform UK receives £72m from two crypto billionaires in 48 hours

Reform UK has received £72 million in donations from two cryptocurrency investors within 48 hours, marking the largest single donations in British political history.

  • Reform UK received £72 million in donations from two crypto billionaires.
  • Christopher Harborne donated £36 million, matching a previous donation from Ben Delo.
  • The donations are the largest single contributions in British political history.

Reform UK has received a total of £72 million in donations from two cryptocurrency billionaires over the past 48 hours. This sum represents the largest single donations in British political history.

Christopher Harborne announced a £36 million donation, matching the amount given by fellow cryptocurrency investor Ben Delo on Friday. Reform UK's economics spokesman, Robert Jenrick, is addressing questions regarding these donations and allegations of circumventing electoral law to receive foreign funds.

The substantial funding is expected to support the anti-immigration party's operations leading up to the next general election, which is due by 2029. The party has also pledged to introduce more crypto-friendly policies if it comes into power.

Why this matters: The donations are the largest single contributions in British political history and have prompted calls for a cap on donations from large donors in the UK.
