Reform UK, a political party in the UK, has received an additional £4 million from Ben Delo, a British cryptocurrency billionaire who was pardoned by former U.S. President Donald Trump. This brings Delo’s total donations to the party to £8 million. Delo was convicted in the United States four years ago for failures in an anti-money laundering program at his company but was later pardoned by Trump. Delo had previously announced his intention to return to Britain to help "build a war chest" for Reform UK to contest the next general election. He claims he will not be affected by the new overseas donor cap, which limits contributions from non-UK residents. According to new figures released by the Electoral Commission, Reform UK raised £5.3 million in donations during the second quarter of the year, surpassing the amounts raised by the Labour Party (£3.5 million), the Conservatives (£2.8 million), and the Liberal Democrats (£1.3 million). Labour received significant donations from prominent figures such as Gary Lubner, founder of Autoglass, and Lord Sainsbury, a supermarket tycoon. Entrepreneur Ali Mosawi also contributed £550,000 to Labour. Parliament’s standards watchdog is currently investigating whether a separate £5 million gift to Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, from Christopher Harborne—a Thailand-based cryptocurrency investor—should have been declared. Harborne has donated £15 million to Reform UK since the general election and gave Farage a £5 million "gift" prior to that. Farage has argued that he was not required to declare the gift and triggered a by-election in his constituency to allow voters to decide the matter. However, if the watchdog finds against him, Farage could face another by-election and potentially be excluded from Parliament. The donor cap, introduced in March, requires donors to be registered on the UK domestic electoral roll for at least 12 months to contribute more than £100,000 annually. In April, Delo wrote in an article for The Telegraph that England was his home and criticized the UK’s political elite, stating that their "regime of nonsense" posed a "grave threat" to the country. He added that this was the first time in his life he had become politically active.
