Nigel Farage's Reform UK have received its largest ever donation, with former Conservative donor Christopher Harborne handing the party £9m.
The donation - one of the largest in British political history - was made in August this year, according to filings from the Electoral Commission.
Mr Harborne, a British businessman based in Thailand, previously donated millions to Reform in 2019, when it was known as the Brexit Party, and has continued to give the party and Mr Farage cash.
Between 2001 and 2022, he donated close to £2m to the Conservatives, according to Companies House.
The £9m handed to Reform UK on 1 August this year is the largest political donation on record from a living person, after Lord Sainsbury left £10m to the Conservatives in his will in 2023.
Born and educated in the UK, Mr Harbone is now based in Thailand, where he chairs the investment company Sherriff Global Group.
