Reform's Jenrick 'Very Confident' £72m Donations Are 'Perfectly Legal'
Labour's Angela Rayner warned of possible retrospective rule changes, as Reform called the donations a 'breakthrough moment,' according to The Guardian.
Reform UK economic spokesperson Robert Jenrick said he is "very confident" that £72m in new party donations are "perfectly legal," calling the sum a "breakthrough moment," The Guardian reported.
Labour's Angela Rayner suggested the donations could be affected by new legislation applying retrospective rules, according to the report. The Guardian noted that neither Labour nor the Conservatives ruled out accepting similarly large donations from crypto entrepreneurs in the future, and Reform leader Nigel Farage said the donations put his party on "a more level playing field" with established parties.
