UK Government Proposes Donation Caps Targeting Reform Party's £72 Million Windfall
According to Channel 4 News, the UK government is advancing legislation to the House of Lords that would restrict political donations, with the changes directly bearing on Reform UK's record £72 million in pledged funds announced this weekend. Reform UK says the donations carry no quid pro quo arrangements and comply with current law. The government says the proposed legislation would impose new limits on party funding — including donations from Britons living abroad or who have returned to the UK within the last 12 months — before Reform can spend the money.
