Britain's anti-immigration party Reform UK received a donation of £36 million, which, according to available data, is the largest single contribution to a political party in the history of the United Kingdom. The money was provided by businessman Ben Delo, who made his fortune in the cryptocurrency sector. Die Zeit ↗
The donation is meant to strengthen the funding of the party led by Nigel Farage and secure a stable budget for it until the parliamentary elections planned for 2029. According to reports, Delo decided to contribute in part because Reform UK was not sufficiently secured financially. svet.sme.sk ↗
The record contribution comes shortly after the party's annual conference in Birmingham, which was accompanied by disputes over funding and internal tension. After hidden recordings were published concerning possible circumvention of rules on political donations, two senior party officials resigned. Reform UK subsequently launched an internal investigation. teraz.sk ↗
During the conference, Farage presented the party's political priorities and also appeared alongside Jordan Bardella, leader of the French National Rally. Both parties signed a memorandum on cooperation to curb migration across the English Channel. teraz.sk ↗
The new donation could provide Reform UK with significant financial resources to prepare for its next election campaign. At the same time, however, it will increase public and official scrutiny of the donation's origin and the rules governing political contributions. Deutschlandfunk ↗
