Who is Nigel Farage?

Nigel Farage was born in Kent in 1964. His father, Guy Justus Oscar Farage was a stockbroker, and his mother Barbara was a house-wife.

Farage was sent to Dulwich College as a boy, one of the UKs most prestigious and exclusive private schools. Following his time at Dulwich, Farage went to work as a commodities trader in the city of London. At this time he was also a Conservative party member and a vocal support of the Tory party.

In 1993, Farage set up UKIP along with Alan Sked, a professor from the London school of economics and he became a Member of the European Parliament in 1999 until 2020. He then became UKIP party leader. During his time as an MEP he received a total salary of about €2,500,000 followed by a significant Brexit severance payoff (about £150,000) and finally left with a £70,000 per year Pension.

In 2019 following Brexit, he set up the Brexit party and became the honouree president, before founding Reform UK in 2021. Alongside this he has had a long career in broadcasting working for GB news and regularly appearing on Russia Today and the BBC. In 2024 he was elected as the MP for Clacton, his eighth attempt at becoming an MP. He currently has approximately 13 jobs alongside being an MP with a combined income of several million pounds and owns 5 houses across the UK.

Who funds Nigel Farage?

Farage’s top donor is Thai-based crypto-billionaire Chris Harborne who has donated millions to Farage personally (which was undeclared and is currently the source of investigation) and several millions to his political party Reform UK. Chris Harborne also used to bankroll the Conservative Party and former PM Boris Johnson.

Nick Candy, the Reform UK Treasurer is the second biggest Reform UK donor. Candy is a billionaire property developer who has featured in the Epstein Files as he was friendly with Sarah Kellen and Ghislaine Maxwell, and a business associate of Epstein.

Ben Dulo is another crypto billionaire donor who has donated aprox £4,000,000 to Reform UK.

A personal Donor of Farage is “posh George” a convicted fraudster and British aristocrat who allegedly calls Nigel Farage “daddy”. These donations are currently also under investigation.

Who are his allies?

One long term ally of Farage is George Cottrell - aka ‘Posh George’, as mentioned above.

Another is Nathan Gill, currently in Prison for being a Russian spy.

Steve Banon has been known to support Farage, as has Tommy Robinson and Aaron Banks. Farage is also known for trying to suck up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

What about the rest of Reform UK?

Farage’s second in command Richard Tice is another millionaire known for avoiding Tax. He went to Uppingham school, a prestigious private school, and his grandfather was Sir Bernard Sunley - a prominent property developer. Tice carried on his trade with the Sunley Group before becoming CEO of CLS holdings and later Quidnet Capital. He was a long time Conservative party donor and also worked alongside Nigel as an MEP. Tice now spends half his time living in Dubai, and the other being the MP for Skegness.

Then we have Suella Braverman, the former home secretary and long time Conservative party minister and MP - she went to Heathfield independent Girls school.

Bobby Jenerick, a former Conservative minister, went to Wolverhampton Grammar school.

Danny Kruger, former Tory MP, went to Eton College.

You get the picture.

So why do Reform want to try and convince you they are not the establishment, when they are in fact the very definition of the word?

They want to scam you for your vote. Don’t let them!
