Reform UK Lands Record £36m Crypto Donation Amid Finance Scrutiny

Reform UK has received a record-breaking £36 million donation from cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo. This comes just days after another significant donation of £5 million from Christopher Harborne, whose personal gift to Nigel Farage was previously under parliamentary investigation.

The party has now raised over £86 million in donations this year alone, surpassing the £10.2 million and £7.7 million raised by the Conservatives and Labour respectively.

Delo's donation is particularly notable given his own financial history - he was convicted of failing to establish an adequate anti-money laundering program at BitMEX and subsequently granted a pardon by Donald Trump.
