Farage’s Reform UK gets £36 Million from crypto billionaire – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party cashed in a massive £36 million donation from crypto billionaire Ben Delo, giving the populist leader a massive financial head start in his bid to win the UK’s next general election.

It is the largest ever single donation ever given to a political party in the UK, dwarfing a £9 million gift to Reform UK in 2025 from Christopher Harborne, another crypto investor.

Delo, who was already one of Reform’s largest donors, said he wants to give Reform “a level playing field” at the next general election. The donation means Reform has raised five times more money than the Conservative party and six times more than Labour in 2026, the Telegraph notes.
