Reform UK Gets Fresh $4M Boost from Tether‑Linked Crypto Investor
Reform UK received a second major donation of £3 million ($4 million) from crypto investor Christopher Harborne.Summary
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party received a second significant donation, totaling £3 million ($4 million), in November 2025 from Christopher Harborne, a Thailand-based aviation entrepreneur and early crypto backer with a significant stake in Tether. This followed an earlier $12 million donation in August 2025, cementing Reform UK's lead in political fundraising for the year, pulling in about $23 million compared to the Conservatives' $17 million and Labour's $10 million. Harborne, also known as Chakrit Sakunkrit, is a major financier of the UK's right wing, having previously supported the Conservatives and Farage's Brexit Party. Reform UK has pledged to introduce a "Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill" if it wins the next general election. This influx of cash comes as the UK government considers measures to clamp down on digital asset money in politics, including potential bans or stricter disclosure rules, due to concerns over untraceable foreign influence.
