Summary

On today's Cheat Sheet, Wilf and Sophy discuss Reform UK’s £72 million donations from cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne, which are the largest in UK political history, as peers prepare to debate capping political donations. Donald Trump has been talking up Irish reunification over the weekend, oil prices have surged, and Boris Johnson was caught up in a security scare after a train behind the one he was travelling in was hit by a Russian drone in Ukraine. Plus, the historic East Sussex town of Lewes has become the first UK town to recognise the rights of trees.
