Reform UK has received a second £36 million donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire.
Thai-based businessman Christopher Harborne, the party’s biggest donor, said on Saturday he was matching the donation made by Ben Delo.
The first mammoth sum came from Mr Delo, a British billionaire, who last year was given an unconditional pardon by US President Donald Trump over a Bank Secrecy Act violation.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Harbone said: “Whilst I have been making donations to Reform of around £1m a month, Ben Delo told me he was going to make a record donation of £36m. My competitive spirit inspired me to match it, so that is what I’ve done. And I hope others may join us.”
Mr Harborne was behind the £5 million gift to Mr Farage in 2024 before he was elected to the Commons which has led to an investigation by Parliament’s standards watchdog into the Reform UK leader.
