Reform UK Leads in Political Donations Amid Growing Influence

According to PANews, the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, has surpassed other British political parties in third-quarter donations, thanks to a record-breaking £9 million ($12 million) contribution from cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne. From July to September, Reform UK received £10.3 million in donations, outpacing the ruling Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, which garnered £2.2 million, and the main opposition Conservative Party, which collected £4.7 million. These figures exclude public funds allocated to opposition parties. Despite the typical fluctuations in quarterly political donations, Reform UK's fundraising success highlights its growing prominence in the British political landscape. Although the party holds only five seats in the 650-member House of Commons, it has consistently led national opinion polls since April.
