Nigel Farage’s Reform UK receives a second £36 million donation from crypto investor Christopher Harborne, announced via an article in The Telegraph. The party received a similar £36 million donation from another crypto billionaire, Ben Delo, just days earlier, with both gifts described by recipients as aimed at helping Reform prepare for and compete in an upcoming general election.
Harborne, described across outlets as Reform’s largest donor, says he is matching a plan discussed with Delo and presenting the payment as support for the UK’s direction. According to reporting cited by some outlets, Harborne has previously donated £9 million to Reform and says he typically contributes around £1 million per month. Farage responds by saying he is “honoured and humbled” by both men’s backing. Other coverage highlights that Farage’s earlier alleged £5 million gift from Harborne is the subject of scrutiny by the parliamentary standards watchdog after Farage did not declare it in his register of interests. Outlets also reference the wider context of investigations into Reform’s finances, with the party denying wrongdoing and saying it will cooperate.
