The UK government plans to restrict overseas political donations in response to cryptocurrency tycoons donating £ 72 million to Reform UK
The UK Labour government plans to legislate to restrict political donations from overseas wealthy individuals. The plan is to set the annual donation limit for British citizens living abroad at £ 100000 and apply it to those who have recently returned to the UK. Any illegal funds must be refunded within 60 days. Previously, Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo donated a total of £ 72 million to Reform UK. Reform UK stated that the donation was legal and no exchange conditions were proposed. (Source: Bloomberg)
