> British billionaire cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne has pledged $48.6m to far-right Reform UK, matching Ben Delo’s donation the previous day. The two contributions bring money pledged to the party since Friday to $97m, as police investigate whether it accepted illegal foreign donations. Nigel Farage welcomed the gifts, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch questioned Reform’s integrity.
