Donations in cryptocurrency to UK political parties will be banned, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said, in response to a review of foreign financial interference.

Ministers are also capping donations of British citizens living abroad at £100,000 annually, one of 17 recommendations made by former top civil servant Philip Rycroft.

The UK government is still considering its response to the rest of Rycroft's proposals, which include a ban on foreign-funded online political advertisements.

The Rycroft review was commissioned last year in response to threats posed by foreign states attempting to meddle in British democracy.
