Labour MP Liam Byrne's research found that more than £170 million was directed to UK populist-right politicians, media organizations, and thinktanks over five years, largely from four major donors including hedge fund manager Paul Marshall and crypto investor Christopher Harborne. The vast majority of funds—over 76%—went to three media outlets: GB News, the Critic, and UnHerd, which Byrne said amplify rightwing politicians' views through on-air roles and social media circulation.
