- Pardoned Bitmex co-founder Ben Delo funds “The Sanctuary,” a Westminster hub for right-wing politicians and influencers, according to an investigation by Hosting-anti-woke-rightwing-activists” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Guardian and HOPE not hate.
- The hub has hosted figures including former UK PM Boris Johnson, former Conservative MP Michael Gove, and anti-woke author Eric Kaufmann, who spoke about problems with “black culture.”
- Delo’s framed presidential pardon for violating the Bank Secrecy Act is displayed at the venue, and the operation actively conceals its activities from public view.
A political hub overlooking Westminster Abbey, secretly funded by pardoned cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo, is providing a base for a network of controversial right-wing figures, an investigation revealed. Known as “The Sanctuary,” this gentleman’s club-like space reportedly hosts events, podcasts, and office work free of charge for politicians and activists. It notably saw right-wing MP Rupert Lowe launch his Restore Britain party after leaving Reform UK.
The venue has also hosted the Aporia race science magazine and author Eric Kaufmann, who discussed being “comfortable with a natural level of inequality.” Consequently, Delo personally funded the Battle of Ideas festival, which promotes anti-science positions, with $127,000. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch have visited to appear on the right-wing podcast Triggernometry.
However, the operations of The Sanctuary are deliberately kept confidential, with its name omitted from building plaques and users told to stay quiet online. Delo runs the hub with his chief of staff, Jeremy Hildreth, who manages its day-to-day activities and previously donated $34,000 in legal costs to Badenoch. The decor includes a taxidermy penguin, pictures of Victorian colonists, and a framed copy of Delo’s presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Delo portrays himself as a philanthropist, claiming to have donated $127 million to good causes, including a recent $25 million gift to a maths and physics institute. His charitable efforts in neurodiversity and Commonwealth relations have been praised by figures like Michael Gove, who said he was “proud to know” Delo. The hub’s annual summer party regularly attracts a host of prominent right-wing figures from the UK political scene.
