Police Launch Probe Into Donations To Reform From Company Controlled By Richard Tice

Britain Means Business gave the party £500,000 in the run-up to the 2024 general election.

Police are investigating donations to Reform UK by a company controlled by the party’s deputy leader Richard Tice.

Britain Means Business – a fundraising vehicle – gave Reform two donations of £250,000 in the run-up to the 2024 general election, according to The Times.

The money was paid to his company by Reform donor Fiona Cottrell, Tice has previously said.

She is said to have given £1 million to Britain Means Business in June 2024, and half of that money was then given to Reform.

The BBC revealed that Metropolitan Police detectives are examining the donations from Tice’s company.

Fiona Cottrell is the mother of George Cottrell, a convicted criminal who provided funding for Nigel Farage’s security and staffing in the year before he was elected.
