Ben Delo, a significant financial donor to the Reform UK party, provided a £350,000 loan to conservative writer Nina Power. The funds were intended to support Power and fellow writer Daniel DC Miller in a defamation lawsuit they initiated against performance artist Luke Turner. The plaintiffs had accused Turner of falsely labeling them antisemitic.

However, the legal proceedings resulted in a ruling against Power and Miller. The judge dismissed their libel claim and upheld a counter-claim brought by Turner, which accused the pair of harassment. In the final judgment, the court found that Power had engaged in online bullying. The judge further characterized the conduct of the claimants as having a “whiff of threat and antisemitism.”

The loan from Delo has drawn attention due to his status as a major backer of Reform UK. While the loan was a private financial arrangement between the donor and the writer, the connection has highlighted the intersection of political funding and the personal legal activities of those associated with the party's donor base. The legal case centered on the limits of online discourse and the consequences of public accusations made on social media platforms.
