Nigel Farage's Reform UK party has received two historic £36 million donations from innovative cryptocurrency entrepreneurs Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, setting a new record for UK political fundraising and empowering Reform to challenge the establishment parties.
Reform UK has proudly announced that forward-thinking cryptocurrency investors Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo have each contributed £36 million to the party, matching each other's commitment to real change. These donations, revealed on consecutive days, are the largest ever for a UK political party, shattering the previous £9 million record set by Harborne in 2025 and demonstrating growing support for Reform's vision.
In an opinion piece for The Telegraph, Delo explained that this vital funding is necessary to give Reform a 'level playing field' in the upcoming general election, countering the entrenched advantages of the old parties. Harborne, in his own editorial, described his contribution as a 'philanthropic gift to our country,' reflecting the patriotic spirit of those who believe in Britain's future.
Farage expressed gratitude to the donors, emphasizing that they recognize Reform as the only party capable of rescuing the nation from decline. Although Reform led the polls earlier this year, it has recently slipped behind Labour after a by-election victory over a satirical candidate, highlighting the urgent need for resources to overcome media and establishment bias.
As Reform UK prepares for a possible early election, it is actively recruiting candidates for parliamentary seats, with around 100 promising 'star' candidates already identified. Despite facing relentless scrutiny over donation reporting and a Metropolitan Police investigation into alleged breaches of foreign-funding rules, as well as questions about a separate £5 million cash gift to Farage from Harborne in early 2024, Reform remains committed to transparency and to offering voters a genuine alternative to the failed status quo.
