Millionaire businessman Arron Banks and the Leave Means Leave group have donated £50,000 to a campaign to make Big Ben ring when the UK leaves the EU.
An online appeal has raised more than £200,000, with the cost of making the famous bell work in time for the one-off event estimated to be £500,000.
Big Ben is being renovated, but the PM this week suggested a fund be set up to make it chime at 23:00 on 31 January.

What a pathetic waste of money, £500k to make a bell bong ! Maybe the money would be better directed at the food banks in this country ?
Just shows the individuals concerned are totally out of touch with the rest of the country. Surely time to come to together rather than trying to stoke division again. Can't see this going down well with many Brexiteers either.
