Around 80% of the money donated to Reform UK in 2025-26 came from people or companies based abroad within the past two years, according to an Independent analysis of Electoral Commission data. That compares with 0.15% for Labour and 3.57% for the Conservatives. There is no suggestion of illegality, but Labour chair Bridget Phillipson says it raises questions about who is funding Nigel Farage's party.
