Farage readies for anti-establishment court battle over £72 million crypto haul

LONDON — Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is spoiling for a legal fight against Labour’s attempt to prevent record-shattering donations from reshaping British politics. The insurgent right-wing party plans to carry on spending the £72 million donated over the weekend by two crypto-billionaires — even as an incoming law threatens to make them impermissible. Labour MPs are bracing for Reform to launch an “Establishment is out to get us” court drama that plays into the narrative Farage has been shaping of a plucky outsider being scuppered by the machine. It’s a clash that two senior figures in Reform, both granted anonymity to discuss plans in the making, signaled to POLITICO they are well up for having.
