Nigel Farage resumes Reform UK leadership and wins Clacton seat amid donor scrutiny
Farage returned as leader of Reform UK in June 2024 and secured a Commons seat at Clacton later that year. The party’s funding from billionaire Christopher Harborne and a parliamentary standards investigation have drawn attention.
Nigel Farage resumed leadership of Reform UK in June 2024 and later won a Commons seat at Clacton in the 2024 general election, according to factually.co.
Christopher Harborne, a billionaire who has registered to vote in the UK, has donated more than £25 million to Reform UK, reported by gdelt. He also gave £5 million to Farley in the run‑up to the 2024 general election, before Farley announced his candidacy, according to the guardian. Farley is currently being investigated by Parliament’s standards commissioner over that gift, gdelt reported.
Reform UK has led in more than 300 consecutive national polls, the guardian noted, and Robert Kenyon increased his and Reform’s share of the vote from the 2024 general election, also reported by the guardian.
