Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Christopher Harborne has donated another £3m to Reform UK on top of his record £9m last summer.
Nigel Farage’s party, which has been topping the polls for more than a year, brought in £5.5m in the last quarter of 2025. It also included a £200,000 donation from JC Bamford Excavators – traditionally a Conservative donor – which gave the same sum to the Tories that quarter.
The Harborne donations will bolster Reform UK’s war chest before the May elections, in which Farage will be hoping to make progress in Wales and across England where council seats are being contested.
