英国工党政府宣布将在众议院提交《人民代表法案》修正案，拟对改革党所获捐款的合法性进行质证1。该党获得来自加密货币亿万富翁本·德洛和克里斯托弗·哈伯恩各3600万英镑的捐款，合计7200万英镑1。
修正案要求捐献者必须证明在英国持续的居住权，这一要求将超越现行的100,000英镑海外人士捐款限制1。按新规则，捐献者需满足返回英国的日历年剩余时间加一个完整年度的居住要求，追溯至2025年3月25日1。根据这一新规，改革党可能无法接受这笔7200万英镑捐款直到2028年1月1。
改革党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇声称捐款100%符合现行法律，称两位亿万富翁符合现有法律要求1。改革党发言人齐亚·优素福称政府措施是"前所未有的"，将其描述为"左翼政府陷入独裁和共产主义"1。工党副领导人安吉拉·雷纳批评改革党将加密货币亿万富翁的捐款与工党工会成员的捐款相比较1。政府表示不考虑对工会捐款施加同样限制，但正在审视对政党支出限制的改革1。
Britain's Labour government has tabled an amendment to the Representation of the People Act that would impose stricter residency requirements on political donors, potentially challenging the legitimacy of £72 million in donations received by the Reform Party.1 The two donations, each worth £36 million, came from cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Hahn.1 Under the proposed amendment, donors would be required to demonstrate continuous UK residency, a requirement that would extend beyond the current £100,000 limit on overseas donations.1 If implemented, the new rules would prevent Reform from accepting the £72 million until January 2028, with the residency requirement defined as the remainder of the calendar year in which a donor returns to the UK plus one full subsequent year, retroactively applied from March 25, 2025.1
Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has maintained that the donations comply fully with existing law, stating that both billionaires meet current legal requirements.1 The party's spokesman Zia Yousaf characterized the government's measures as "unprecedented," describing them as indicative of a "left-wing government descending into authoritarianism and communism."1 Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner criticized Reform's attempts to equate the cryptocurrency billionaire donations with union contributions to Labour, noting that the government is not imposing equivalent restrictions on union funding but is reviewing broader reforms to party spending limits.1
