The ‘gaping loopholes’ used by billionaire to bankroll Reform UK
Meet Christopher Harborne, the billionaire bankrolling Reform UK.
He moved to Thailand in the 1990s and became a Thai citizen, but he has pumped over £25 million into UK political parties, including £15 million to Reform UK and £10.2 million to the Brexit Party.
How is he legally allowed to do this?

A Channel 4 News investigation can reveal that Harborne specifically re-registered as a UK resident to cast his vote for the Brexit referendum whilst declaring just a few months later in a UK company documents that he lived in Thailand.
It’s a move that legally enabled him to pump tens of millions into British politics.
Experts are calling it a “gaping loophole”.
We look into the man behind Nigel Farage’s £5 million gift.

No worse than the loophole used to put in another elected Fabian in power – who’s indeed much more dangerous
Why isn’t this same scrutiny done for Burnham and his wife?
