In brief

• Labour MPs plan to rebel next week to toughen the government’s political funding bill, including turning a temporary ban on crypto donations into a permanent one, the Guardian reported.
• The push comes after multimillion-pound donations to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK from crypto billionaires Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, neither of which were made in the form of crypto.
• The UK froze crypto political donations in March; the amendments would harden that into law and slash campaign spending limits.
