The government will look at potential reforms to political party funding, Sir Keir Starmer has said, as0 the Liberal Democrats raised the “spectre” of Elon Musk’s possible donation to Reform UK. Leader Sir Ed Davey asked the Prime Minister to change the rules around party funding amid the US businessman’s continued interest in British politics

Nigel Farage said he did not want to “go to war” with US billionaire Elon Musk who said he should be replaced as Reform UK leader having previously backed him.

"I think we all had a smile on Sunday when the honourable member said how 'cool' it was to have the support of Musk, only for Musk to say he should be removed just a few hours later"
