Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Farage Says £72 Million Reform Donations Comply With Current Law
Caption: Farage Says £72 Million Reform Donations Comply With Current Law. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has insisted two donations worth a combined £72 million are fully compliant with current electoral law. Reform announced it had received £36 million each from wealthy businessmen Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne, both British citizens who until recently lived abroad. The government is seeking to introduce a £100,000 annual cap on political donations from British expatriates, backdated to 25 March 2026. Farage said there was "no question" the donations were legal under existing rules, but declined to say whether the two donors were UK residents by the proposed cut-off date. He criticised plans that could retrospectively affect donations and said Reform could retaliate by restricting trade union funding if it entered government. Trade union leader Paul Nowak rejected the comparison between union contributions and large donations from wealthy individuals.
