Reform UK Lands Record £72 Million in Crypto Donations Ahead of Next Election

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne has donated £36 million to Reform UK, matching an already record contribution made by fellow investor Ben Delo a day earlier. The donation brings the party's total funding to £72 million in under 48 hours.

The funds exceed what both Labour and the Conservatives spent during last year's election campaign, according to Electoral Commission figures.

Reform UK has been facing allegations of irregularities in its funding, which it denies. The party plans to use the donations to boost its chances ahead of the next general election, due by 2029.

Party leader Nigel Farage welcomed the backing from both Harborne and Delo, saying they know that Reform is the only party capable of winning the next election.
