Why £72 million doesn’t come for free – the risks to Reform UK of taking cash from mega-donors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
British politics looks set to be dominated in the coming weeks and months by the £72 million donated to Reform UK. This is because, and there’s really no other way to cut the cake here, this is an astonishing amount of money.
