  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government is talking to Britain's election watchdog about tougher rules on political donations, amid fears that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage may secure funding from Elon Musk.
The UK government is contemplating changes to its donation rules to prevent foreign influence in politics, particularly in light of potential discussions between former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and Elon Musk. The proposed "Musk-proofing" measures aim to close loopholes that could allow foreign entities to exert influence through donations. This comes as Farage, who has been vocal about his admiration for Musk, might be considering a return to frontline politics. The changes would ensure that only UK citizens or those with a significant connection to the country can make political contributions, thereby safeguarding the integrity of British democracy. The move has sparked debate about balancing the need for transparency and the freedom of political expression.
