Reform UK has received a second £36 million donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire, matching an identical contribution previously made to Nigel Farage's party. The latest donation was announced by Thailand-based businessman Christopher Harborne, with the funds intended to aid the anti-immigration party's preparations for government.
The massive financial injection represents the largest gift in British political history. However, the political funding arrives while Reform UK's finances are already the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.
