And so I don't think that's quite correct.

They certainly have made an environment that's conducive to winning the business of the global cryptocurrency industry a key part of their policy portfolio.

They've written documents that are publicly available on what they think the climate for crypto should be like.

It should be noted that Crystal Harbour isn't their only donor that's got interest in cryptocurrency or the only way that they've expressed their interest in cryptocurrency.

Nigel Farage has lent his face to a campaign to encourage people to invest in cryptocurrency that also involves the former chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng.

And Ben Delo is another donor who has interest in cryptocurrencies.

But, you know, I'm not necessarily suggesting, certainly wouldn't be suggesting as a reporter that the sort of,

The only reason that they might have interest in cryptocurrencies is because their donors have them.

But I do think it's important that the public can see all of the information about the financial interests at play with any political party here.

And that includes Reform UK, because let's remember, Nigel Farage has said that he thinks he's got a good shot of being the next prime minister of this country.

And so I think it's really important to understand what financial activity he's taking on,

And who might be involved in that?

So that I think that's what's critical here.

Yes.

So in this country, we have a sort of an overall cap on what a political party can spend in a given year, but no limit on what an individual can give.

And historically, other parties have always had sort of what you would call hero donors.

So you have had donors that...

and have often been sort of maybe the biggest don't they've given by way by far and away the biggest donation in any given year um for example we had frank hester with the conservatives um um but i think what is what is more unusual is is consist such consistently large sums so you you might have seen the sort of level of of donation cumulatively from a single individual over a period of

that would be similar to the level that you have seen with Christopher Harborne.

But it is clearly, as a record, it's clearly very unusual to have quite so much money coming from one individual.
