Nigel Farage's UK Reform Party has received a significant financial boost from crypto investor Christopher Harborne, who donated £3 million. According to NS3.AI, this contribution has propelled the party's declared funding ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives. Harborne's donation, his second substantial gift, increased Reform's fourth-quarter funding to £5.5 million, surpassing the Conservatives' £2.3 million and Labour's £1.7 million.
Reform is currently the only UK political party accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations. This approach has sparked debate, with some Members of Parliament calling for a ban on such contributions, while Farage has introduced new pro-crypto policy pledges.
