Framing Analysis
The UK government has announced proposals to limit political donations from British citizens returning from overseas to £100,000 in their first year after arrival, building on an earlier £100,000 annual cap backdated to 25 March. Large donations to Reform UK from Christopher Harborne totaling £12 million and from Ben Delo totaling £4 million occurred prior to the restrictions. Additional measures require candidates to declare and verify pre-candidacy donations above £2,230.
