The Metropolitan Police are investigating two donations, each worth £250,000, that Reform UK received via a company under the control of its deputy leader, Richard Tice. Britain Means Business made these payments during the weeks preceding the 2024 general election. Fiona Cottrell reportedly gave £1 million to Tice's company, with half then passed to Reform.
