Farage's crypto kings could wash Labour and Tories away - and it's their own fault

Reform UK has faced scrutiny after two crypto billionaires each donated £36 million, totaling £72 million. Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo’s gifts came after an undercover television sting and a criminal investigation into allegations that Reform broke funding rules, including claims that two key aides sought illegal foreign donations with apparent involvement from their boss. The party says it received no money itself and denies wrongdoing, but the controversy disrupted its annual conference. The article also cites earlier donations of £250,000 each from the mother of George Cottrell, who is based in Montenegro after an FBI-linked dark web money-laundering case and a wire fraud plea deal.
