Farage’s Reform UK gets second record £36 million donation in 48 hours

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has received a second record £36 million donation in just 48 hours. This significant contribution comes from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne, matching a previous record donation made to the party. The donation totals £72 million from two donors, which is a substantial amount for the party as it prepares for the next election and faces allegations about its funding. This influx of money could potentially boost the party's chances in the upcoming election.
