A senior aide to Reform UK, Arron Banks, said the party may set up a new union called Allied Computer & Crypto Workers Union, or ACCAW, if the Labour government moves ahead with tighter rules on overseas political donations. The proposed body would cover workers in IT, artificial intelligence and the crypto sector, and would be used to raise political funds through a union channel.
The proposal comes after crypto billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne each donated £36 million to Reform UK, taking the combined total to £72 million. At the same time, the UK government is advancing new restrictions aimed at overseas donors. According to the report, if those rules are applied retrospectively, the compliance status of some donations could come under scrutiny.
The development was reported by the Daily Mail and cited by Odaily.
