Farage's Reform UK Smashes Fundraising Records with $97 Million Haul

Nigel Farage's Reform UK party has made a significant dent in its fundraising efforts over the past 24 hours, raising a record £72 million ($97 million) in total donations.

The surge in funds comes from two multi-million pound donations: one from BitMEX founder Ben Delo worth £36 million and another matching donation of the same amount from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.

Harborne's announcement on Saturday to match Delo's donation has helped the party exceed its previous fundraising targets, with some critics accusing it of trying to silence opponents through financial means.
