Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice accused Labour of “hyperventilating hypocrisy” over the £72 million of donations received by his party from two crypto-billionaires. The twin £36 million gifts from Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne have reignited calls for a blanket cap on donations, going further than legislation aimed at restricting donations from overseas sources. Reform insisted the donations were in line both with current rules and planned restrictions on money from donors based overseas which are set to be considered in the Lords on Monday. Speaking with Former Conservative Government Adviser Claire Pearsall, Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer says: "I don't think you should be giving money to British political parties!" #reformuk #labour #juliahartleybrewer #talk Have you got a story?
