Resist Reform beams its message direct to Reform HQ
Campaigners from Resist Reform have projected messages onto Millbank Tower in London. It’s the home of Reform UK’s offices and the group is calling out the party’s allegiances to corporate elite and foreign funders.
The projections featured stark messages including “WHY THE £5 MIL NIGEL?” and “WHO IS CHRIS HARBORNE”. They’re referencing the shadowy funding arrangements surrounding Reform UK and its leadership.
Christopher Harborne, a billionaire who made his fortune in cryptocurrency, donated £5m to Nigel Farage directly. Farage justified the sum as a private gift and a reward for his hard work on Brexit and the reason for his failure to declare it.
Overall, Harborne is the single biggest donor to Reform UK, giving over £22m in the last seven years. That’s two thirds of the party’s funding. Resist Reform is a campaign exposing the billionaire funding and elite interests behind Reform UK and organising opposition to its political agenda.
Sam Simons, spokesperson from Resist Reform, commented:
Nigel Farage and his team are running a con operation, taking money from mysterious sources while pretending to represent ordinary people.
They’re funded by the very same oligarchs and wealthy interests that have fuelled the cost of living crisis, yet they have the audacity to present themselves as champions of working families. It’s a complete fraud.
The Fact that Nigel has accepted £5m and has dodged questions about it should ring alarm bells for all of us. He has built its entire platform on misinformation and false promises, accepting large sums from shadowy donors while maintaining complete secrecy about where the money comes from and what strings are attached.
He is swindling the working people by pretending he is the champion of the people. He is not, he is Christopher Harborne’s puppet. He works for billionaires.
