Reform UK receives a record £36 million donation from British cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo, according to multiple outlets. The payment is described as the largest single donation ever made to a UK political party.
The donation is reported as a notable moment amid ongoing scrutiny of Reform’s finances and funding. BBC and Sky both highlight that the amount sets a new benchmark for a single gift to a political party in the UK. The Financial Times similarly frames the donation as the largest in British political history, focusing on the scale of the contribution and its place in the country’s donation records.
While all sources agree on the core facts—Ben Delo, the £36 million figure, and the record-setting nature of the donation—coverage emphasizes different contextual angles. BBC focuses on the scrutiny of Reform’s finances, whereas Sky stresses that it is the largest single donation on record to a political party. The Financial Times places the donation in the broader history of UK political giving.
