Reform UK receives second £36 million donation in two days
Cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne matched Ben Delo’s £36 million contribution, bringing Reform UK funding to £72 million over 48 hours.
London, United Kingdom. Reform UK has received a £36 million ($48.66 million) donation from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne, its second contribution of the same size in two days as the party prepares for the next general election.
Harborne, Reform UK’s biggest donor, said he had matched a record £36 million donation announced on Friday by fellow cryptocurrency entrepreneur Ben Delo.
Harborne’s statement
In an article published by The Telegraph on Saturday, Harborne said he was supporting Reform UK because he believed it was “the only viable cause” capable of delivering economic regeneration.
“A strong country is one that is funded by a vigorous economy which is creating jobs,” Harborne wrote.
He said Nigel Farage and the party understood what a government needed to do to put the country “back on the right track”.
Donations total £72 million
Harborne said he had been donating around £1 million a month to Reform UK before learning that Delo planned to make the record £36 million contribution.
“My competitive spirit inspired me to match it, so that is what I’ve done,” Harborne said.
The two donations amount to £72 million in funding for Reform UK over 48 hours.
