Politics Question Time Reform UK
Reform’s Danny Kruger claimed that the crypto billionaires want nothing in return for donations, and the Question Time audience’s laughter said it all
BBC’s flagship political panel show, Question Time, has just returned after the long parliamentary recess, and we were all hugely shocked by the presence of a Reform representative – in this case, Danny Kruger. They so rarely get to have their say.
In an act of extraordinary televisual innovation, unheard of in the history of the moving image, and the annals of broadcasting – BBC Question time returns for a new season, kicking off with a member of Reform.

Equally inevitable was this question on the recent £36 million (each!) donations to Reform from crypto billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne –
“Is the £72million in donations received by Reform this week a threat to democracy?”
In ‘well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?’ news, Kruger didn’t think it was a threat at all. He stressed that the two men, who have both given to Nigel Farage and his party on other occasions, wanted absolutely nothing in return for their generous donations.
Watch how that went down with the audience.
Danny Kruger – I think it’s an admirable thing for these two men (Harborne and Delo) who will get nothing for it, no peerage and no policies
Audience laughs
DK they are not getting anything for it.

A collective ‘Sure, Jan!’, if ever we saw one. The internet reactions were no less sceptical.

Danny Kruger explains that our crypto billionaire donors will get absolutely nothing in return for their donations. In unrelated news, we plan to cut capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10% and set up a Bank of England Bitcoin Reserve Fund.#BBCQT…
