Two major Conservative donors, Bassim Haidar and Mohamed Amersi, paid £25,000 each to attend a Reform fundraising dinner on Tuesday night, and sources say the party brought in pledges of more than £1m beforehand from businesspeople.
Reform sources said ticket prices ranged from £10,000 for the dinner to £25,000 for a seat at the top table with Nigel Farage at Oswald’s in Mayfair, central London.
