"Reform raised 5.5 million pounds ($7.4 million) in the fourth quarter of last year, helped by a 3 million donation from Harborne, the Electoral Commission said on Thursday. This came after he gave the party 9 million pounds in the previous quarter, the biggest single donation to a British political party by a living donor."
"The donations mean Reform received more in donations in the last quarter than the governing Labour Party, which took in about 2 million pounds and the opposition Conservative Party's 2.4 million pounds, excluding public funds."
"Farage, a veteran Brexit campaigner and friend of U.S. President Donald Trump, is on a mission to professionalise the party before the next national election, due in 2029."
Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, secured substantial financial support in the fourth quarter, raising £5.5 million in donations and outpacing both the governing Labour Party and opposition Conservative Party during that period. Crypto investor Christopher Harborne provided £3 million, following a previous £9 million donation in the prior quarter, making him the largest single donor to a British political party by a living donor. Farage, a Brexit campaigner and ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, is working to professionalize the party ahead of the 2029 national election. The party's growing financial resources coincide with recruitment efforts, including former Labour officials joining Reform UK and criticizing the ruling party's governance of London.
