In total I'd suggest he has donated way more than 1.7 to Reform and its predecessor Farage fronted parties between 2016 to date. Dont underestimate!!

During the same timeframe the following have donated money to their preferred, Labour, party accoring to google3.

United the Union 52 million
UNISON27 million
GMB 26 million
USDAW 22 million

Hosking must try harder
Given the foundations, origins and original purpose of the Labour Party - to provide the working man with representation in Parliament - it doesn’t seem so surprising.

Compare and contrast with Reform UK where the biggest backers are crypto currency magnate Christopher Harbourne, the aforementioned Hosking and Richard Tice who have, between them, contributed 23 million GDP to RUK and it’s rather harder to take Farage’s ‘man/Party of the people’ claim remotely seriously…and I haven’t even had to mention Elon Musk’s possible proposed huge contribution yet.
