Reform £72 Million Donation: Crypto Billionaires Love Farage for a Reason

The record-breaking £72 million ($97 million) of donations to Reform UK — given by two crypto billionaires who until recently were based overseas — will, as the party contends, help it prepare for government, providing resources to hire policy specialists, expand and professionalize its operations and build a nationwide electoral machine. What they may not do is dispel the atmosphere of sleaze and rule-bending that threatens the success of Nigel Farage’s populist project.
