Reform receives second £36m donation in two days

Reform UK has been given a second £36m donation in as many days -- after the cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne said he had matched a sum donated last night. Mr Harborne has told the Daily Telegraph his 'competitive spirit' made him want to equal the amount given by the businessman, Ben Delo. Reform say the record-breaking cash injection will help to level the playing field; the Liberal Democrats and the Greens have joined campaigners in calling for a cap on politicial donations. Also: There's been a strong reaction to President Trump's surprise intervention on the future of the island of Ireland - and his comment that he'd "love to see" reunification. And: The boss of Anthropic -- which created the popular AI system Claude -- has called for the artificial intelligence industry to slow down, as fears mount about the speed of development.
