Fiona Cottrell, the mother of George Cottrell, a controversial aide to Nigel Farage, has made a significant contribution of £500,000 to the Reform party. This donation positions her among the top financial backers of the party's election campaign, which is gearing up for the upcoming general election. Fiona Cottrell's donation was made in two installments shortly before the election, marking her as one of the largest contributors to the party alongside Richard Tice, the former leader of Reform, who also donated £500,000. The influx of funds from Cottrell and other major donors is expected to bolster the party's campaign efforts as it seeks to make an impact in the political landscape.
