Crypto Tycoon Hands Reform UK Record £36 Million Donation
Crypto tycoon Ben Delo has donated £36 million to Reform UK, the largest single donation to a British political party on record.
The donation comes as Nigel Farage's party faces scrutiny over its finances, including an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations it breached rules on political donations.
Ben Delo, co-founder of cryptocurrency platform BitMEX, said he wanted to ensure a 'fair fight' at the polls and has made the payment up front to avoid attempts to block it.
The donation represents £1 million a month between now and 2029, but Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage is optimistic that the party can turn the country around and reverse Britain's decline.
