Crypto entrepreneurs: Record donations for British right-wing party Reform UK
Britain's right-wing populists are receiving million-dollar donations for their election campaign. The record sums come after weeks of various allegations of fraud.
Reform UK, a right-wing populist party in the UK, has received two record-breaking donations totaling 72 million pounds. Ben Delo, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, donated 36 million pounds, the largest single donation to a UK political party on record. Another cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Christopher Harborne, also announced a donation of the same amount, saying it was a "philanthropic gift to our country".
These donations are the largest ever recorded in the UK, surpassing a 10 million pound donation to the Conservative party in September 2023.
