Reform’s record £9m crypto donation is just the latest offering from abroad

Two thirds of funds given to Nigel Farage’s party this parliament have come from donors with overseas interests.

The man behind a record-breaking donation to Reform UK is one of several individuals and businesses based overseas who have given large sums to the party in recent years, reported The Observer.

Last week, it was revealed that Christopher Harborne, a low-profile British-Thai businessman and crypto investor, had given Nigel Farage’s party £9m, the largest single donation in British political history.

Harborne had previously backed the Brexit party in the run-up to the 2019 election, as well as covering the cost of Farage’s travel to attend Donald Trump’s second inauguration in January, but this latest donation is by far his largest.

In total, Harborne has given Farage and his party £19.2m.
