Reform UK continued to dominate political fundraising in the second quarter of 2026, receiving significantly more donations than its rivals, according to figures released by the Electoral Commission.
The party declared total donations of £5.3 million, outpacing Labour’s £3.6 million and the Conservatives’ £2.8 million. The bulk of Reform’s funds came from billionaire Ben Delo, who contributed £4 million.
Delo, a British cryptocurrency entrepreneur, was convicted in the United States for failing to implement adequate anti-money-laundering controls within his business.
Meanwhile, Labour condemned Reform’s proposal for £100 billion in public spending cuts, describing the plan as “half-baked” and “incredibly reckless.” Party officials warned that such reductions could jeopardize essential public services, including hospitals, schools, and law enforcement.
