Reform UK’s two biggest donors have each handed the party a record-breaking £36m.

The figure is more than the total received by all UK political parties last year.

British cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo said he was making his £36m donation to create “a level playing field” with other parties - and ensure that Reform is given a “fair fight” at the polls in the next general election. Fellow crypto entrepreneur Christopher Harborne swiftly followed suit on Saturday, netting Reform UK £72m in the space of two days.
