Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million. So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.

Bollocks. The most hostile, racist and xenophobic Home Secretary for years, and that was a low benchmark, stays in post. So, Burnham still planning on his government promoting Reform then it seems, at least on immigration. That worked well for his predecessor.
