On July 6, 2026, Britain implemented stricter regulations regarding overseas political donations to combat foreign interference and "dodgy funding." These new measures require candidates to declare any donations exceeding £2,230 received prior to their candidacy and provide proof of the funds' legitimacy. Additionally, overseas individuals must now reside in the UK for at least one year before making donations of £100,000 or more. For corporate entities, donations will be assessed based on post-tax profits rather than total revenue to ensure legitimate UK links. These changes follow a 2025 review into foreign interference, prompted by a former Reform UK politician being jailed for taking bribes. The crackdown also addresses investigations into Nigel Farage regarding a £5 million donation from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire, aiming to protect the integrity of British democratic elections.
