Reform MP's Crypto Donor Claim Leaves Audience in Stitches
Reform party leader Nigel Farage last week expressed gratitude towards two wealthy donors who gave his party £72 million, but an MP for Reform was met with laughter from a BBC Question Time audience when he claimed they would receive no benefits in return.
Benny Delo and Christopher Harborne each donated £36m to the party. Reform has been accused of planning to offer hundreds of millions of pounds worth of tax breaks to crypto investors if they win the next election.
On Question Time, MP Danny Kruger attempted to downplay the influence of the donations by saying that Delo and Harborne 'will get nothing for it', but he was met with ridicule from the audience. He added that the two men were not seeking a peerage or any special policies as a result of their donation.
