Ministers are seeking to introduce a £100,000 annual cap on donations from British expatriates, in a move that would affect the amount individuals living abroad can give within a year.
The proposed limit is described as being backdated to 25 March 2026. The source material does not state whether the measure has already been enacted or remains under consideration, but it indicates that ministers are pursuing the restriction.
Farage has responded by saying that donations totalling £72m are compliant with the law as it stands today. The source material does not provide further detail on the donations, including their recipients, timing or individual donors.
The issue places political funding rules and overseas donations under renewed scrutiny. On the information supplied, the latest position is that ministers are seeking the £100,000 cap while Farage maintains that the donations in question meet current legal requirements.
