Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.
His first question was: “who funds him?”
Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
