The Metropolitan Police are investigating up to £500,000 in donations to Britain Means Business, a company linked to Reform UK's deputy leader, Richard Tice. The firm gave Reform UK two payments of £250,000 before the 2024 general election. The donations came from Fiona Cottrell, mother of convicted fraudster George Cottrell, who gave £1 million to the company in June 2024.
