Reform donor Ben Delo lent £350,000 to fund failed libel case

British crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who gave £36m to Reform UK, lent £350,000 to former academic Nina Power to fund her libel claim against Luke Turner before its 2023 trial. The loan, secured against a London property, came after Power's fee arrangement collapsed. Power and Daniel DC Miller lost and faced £1m costs; Power was later declared bankrupt.
