Reform UK has led the latest political fundraising figures after receiving £9.3 million in donations in the first quarter of 2026. The party raised more than Labour and the Conservatives, with major support from cryptocurrency investors.
Reuters reported that Christopher Harborne gave more than £3 million and Ben Delo donated £4 million. Labour raised around £4 million in the same period, while the Conservatives received around £4.2 million.
The figures will intensify debate over party funding, overseas-linked wealth and the political influence of large donors. Farage is also under scrutiny over a separate £5 million gift from Harborne, while Reform says the party’s funding reflects growing public support for its political programme.
