If you think that the funding of a party can determine its policies, which is not an unreasonable assumption, you will be interested in the character of ReformUK's donors.... it may be trumpeting its anti-establishment credentials, but when we follow the money, it transpires as good chunk of it is from people we might easily call the rich elite (whom we might also not unreasonably associate with the 'establishment').

Surprising? Not really

@ChrisMayLA6

Farage is an ex banker and a former public schoolboy, he's a complete fucking fraud.

@ChrisMayLA6 What I don't understand is the status of Reform's money given it's a ltd co. Can the shareholder (Farage) end up with it?

@annehargreaves

Yes, I would expect that to be the case.... it could either decide to pay it as a dividend or if wound up, with assets not debts distributed to the shareholders/owners

@ChrisMayLA6

The Tories, Labour, and Farage's Limited Company, all of them are financed by the establishment.
