Reform would have received a fraction of £26.7m donations haul under a £100,000 cap, analysis shows

Exclusive: Party’s average registered donation was £137, 496 last year, almost six times that of Labour or Tories

Reform UK would have held just 15% of the donations it received last year if a proposed £100,000 cap on political donations had been in force, according to analysis shared with the Guardian.

The analysis by Friends of the Earth using Electoral Commission data highlights the party’s reliance on a handful of wealthy backers in advance of a showdown over political funding.
