Danny Kruger defends £72 million Reform UK funding amid audience laughter on Question Time

On a Salisbury-hosted edition of Question Time, Reform UK’s Danny Kruger was pressed about the party’s receipt of £72 million from crypto entrepreneurs Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne. Kruger argued the donors receive no personal benefit and that their contributions are lawful, but the studio audience responded with repeated laughter. Caroline Lucas labeled the funding a "massive threat to democracy," while Joy Morrissey highlighted Nigel Farage’s earlier £5 million personal gift, eliciting further amusement.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander advocated for a statutory cap on overseas donations, noting upcoming changes in the elections bill. Farage maintained one outlet donations comply with the law but warned they could become prohibited under the Representation of the People Bill. The programme will continue in Cambridge and North London in the coming weeks.
