UK May Cap All Political Donations as Crypto-Backed Reform UK Surges

Since March 2026, overseas donors to UK parties face a £100,000 yearly cap unless registered on the electoral roll for 12 months. The Burnham government now eyes extending a cap to all donors, targeting large gifts powering Reform UK. Its top backers — crypto billionaires Ben Delo (£8m) and Christopher Harborne (£15m plus £5m to Farage) — live abroad. Delo reportedly plans UK relocation; a Reform source expects his latest £4m to stay.
