Reform UK’s crypto-billionaire donors could face enhanced checks to prove their ongoing presence in the UK as the Government considers tightening proposed laws after the party received £72 million over the weekend.
Ministers have already moved to introduce a £100,000 cap on the amount of money that can be given to political parties by British citizens based overseas, which would also apply for the first 12 months after any expats return to the UK.
The changes would be backdated to this March, raising questions about whether Reform can keep the twin £36 million donations from Ben Delo, who was based in Hong Kong, and Christopher Harborne, who was based in Thailand.
