Nigel Farage's populist Reform UK party secured £9 million (382 million baht) from businessman Christopher Harborne in the third quarter of this year, the Electoral Commission (EC) said on Thursday, one of the largest political donations in British history.
The contribution from Mr Harborne, an aviation entrepreneur who has invested in crypto technology, was just shy of a record £10 million donation to the Conservative Party in 2022. It put Reform in the top position for political donations in the third quarter, receiving a total of £10.5 million.
The opposition Tory Party was given £7 million and the governing Labour Party received £2.6 million, the EC said.
