Reform UK, contrary to what we thought only a few months ago, has traction in Scotland and is now moving into second place and replacing the other Unionist parties as the main challenger to the SNP.

Reform UK has managed to persuade many working-class voters that it is no their side when the evidence is clear that it will serve, first and foremost, the interests of the rich and powerful even more than the Cons and Labour.

From The Daily Mirror in September 2024:

Nearly three quarters of registered donations to Reform UK come from wealthy people or companies linked to tax havens, The Mirror can reveal. The party that claims to be the most patriotic has received £16.5m since 2019 from donors with offshore business interests. Some do not even live in the UK, our investigation with the Good Law Project shows. It comes after we revealed both Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and his deputy Richard Tice set up offshore trusts. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/most-donations-nigel-farages-reform-33718602

How does the SNP do for donations?
