Reform UK's Crypto-Billionaire Donors Pledge Record £72 Million

Reform UK's two largest donors, Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, have pledged £72 million to the party in total. This is the largest donation in British political history.

In a statement, Reform said both men want 'nothing' in exchange for their gifts. They will not receive any government contracts or peerages if the party comes into power.

This announcement has sparked controversy, with Labour MP Stella Creasy calling for a cap on donations. She claims that such large contributions can distort the democratic process and create an uneven playing field.

The donations have also reignited debates about transparency in politics. Transparency International UK's Duncan Hames said the gifts make 'an irrefutable case' for implementing caps on donations.
