BBC Parliament7 hours ago17:08

Two donations of £36 million each from two British crypto-billionaires - Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne - have been made to Reform UK. The Question Time panel in Salisbury debate if mega donations are a threat to democracy, and if the UK needs to cap donation amounts. Right now, there is no limit on how much anyone, living in the UK or abroad, can give to a British political party as long as the individual is registered to vote in the UK. Reform leader Nigel Farage said the donations are "100% compliant with the law today". On the panel are former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, Reform MP Danny Kruger, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander and shadow minister for women and equalities Joy Morrissey.
