The Metropolitan police are investigating payments made to Reform UK via a company controlled by deputy leader Richard Tice. The inquiry focuses on two £250,000 donations made by Britain Means Business before the 2024 general election. The Guardian revealed that Fiona Cottrell transferred £1m to Britain Means Business, and about half was passed to Reform. Fiona Cottrell and her son George, a convicted fraudster, have been interviewed under criminal caution. Fiona Cottrell also made two direct £250,000 donations to Reform in May 2024. The National Crime Agency was alerted via a suspicious activity report but has been unable to trace the source of the original £1m. No arrests have been made. An offence under section 61 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 is being investigated.
