Farage’s Reform UK raises record £72 million in 24 hours — from two crypto billionaires
The donations come from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, who will match a £36 million donation by BitMEX founder Ben Delo.
Nigel Farage's Reform UK party has raised a record £72 million in just 24 hours, far outpacing the amounts raised by rival Labour and Conservative parties this year. Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne stepped in to match a £36 million donation from BitMEX founder Ben Delo, further boosting the insurgent party's finances. These staggering donations are projected to amount to £2 million per month until August 2029, providing the party ample resources to compete in the upcoming general election.
The colossal sums have sparked increased scrutiny from authorities, with police now taking an interest in Reform UK's campaign financing.
