Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform
AI Summary
Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne donated an additional £3 million to Reform UK, adding to his previous £9 million donation. This bolsters the party's finances ahead of the May elections, where Nigel Farage hopes to gain ground in council seats across England and Wales. Reform UK received £5.5 million in donations in the last quarter of 2025, surpassing the Conservative's £4 million. The large donations, including previous contributions to the Brexit Party and Boris Johnson, have renewed calls for a cap on political donations and a ban on cryptocurrency donations. The Electoral Commission published donation figures showing almost £65 million was accepted by political parties during 2025 and is advocating for reforms to strengthen donation controls.
