Farage's Crypto Donors Exposed as Labour Leader Fires Back
Labour's Housing Secretary Angela Rayner delivered a scathing attack on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, accusing him of being beholden to 'crypto billionaire sugar daddies' who funded his party with £72 million in a single 48-hour period.
The money came from two wealthy donors: Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne. Delo is a well-known crypto billionaire, while the specifics of Harborne's background were not mentioned in the source.
Rayner referenced Farage's past use of the app Cameo, where he had earned up to £370,000 for posting personalized video messages until suspending his account in March this year. She sarcastically suggested that if he would sing 'happy birthday' for £70, he'd do anything for £70 million.
Harborne also gave Farage £5 million before the 2024 general election, which Farage failed to declare when entering the Commons. He is now under investigation by parliament's standards commissioner into his finances.
