More money for one party could shape political campaigning as Britain moves towards its next national vote. Electoral Commission figures released on Thursday showed Nigel Farage's Reform UK collected more funds than Labour and the Conservatives during the first quarter of 2026, helped by large gifts from two cryptocurrency investors. Reform took in £9.3 million, including over £3 million from Christopher Harborne and £4 million from Ben Delo.
