I doubt this will be end of the story, as fellow London Assembly members will want to know why he took so long to admit the truth: that he failed to pay council tax on an address in the city he is elected to help govern

Christopher Harborne told me why Keir Starmer's attempt to stop him giving money to Reform will backfire, why he gave Nigel Farage £5m in 2024, and how a sixth-form encounter with Margaret Thatcher changed his life

I sat down for a chat with Christopher Harborne, Reform UK's biggest donor, and Nigel Farage. They both had plenty to say. More to come.

Christopher Harborne, the Thai-based British billionaire who has donated £12m to Reform UK and £5m to Nigel Farage for his security, has given his first and only interview to the Telegraph. Full details on our website later today.

He will effectively replace Thailand-based British businessman Christopher Harborne as Reform's biggest donor. Harborne has given £12m but Starmer's new law on donations means Harborne can only give £100k unless he moves back to the UK

Billionaire expat Ben Delo moves back to UK to donate to Reform https://t.co/kKPrMEoVYB

[Gordon Rayner @gordonrayner]

Delo thinks Sir Keir Starmer specifically targeted Reform UK when he changed the law to restrict donations from expats, so he is calling his bluff

@BreesAnna It is not the first time the BBC has failed to respond to alarm bells about its star names. There does seem to be a curiosity gap among BBC managers and staff.

@BreesAnna did what any good journalist would do when she was told inappropriate messages sent by Scott Mills and contacted the BBC. The BBC ignored her. Today they have admitted they should have asked more questions and apologised
