## Resource

The U.K. government is cracking down on offshore political donations with new rules requiring expats to wait a full year before contributing over $133,000 to parties—and now companies must prove legitimacy through post-tax profits, not just revenue. These moves hit Reform U.K. hard, especially after Nigel Farage’s crypto-backed funding surge and his ongoing probe over a pre-election gift. Officials say the goal is to shield democracy from foreign cash and ensure no one buys influence—no matter where the money comes from.
