Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform Β£100k Oliver Wright Extracts Britain's second-richest family have begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives. A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated Β£100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories. Reform has also received Β£3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor. In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than Β£5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given Β£2.4 million and Labour received Β£1.9 million. The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London β have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth Β£85,000. Their family wealth was put at Β£26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year. Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments. Other Reform donors include David John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party Β£250,000. Reform also received Β£100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism. For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave Β£200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".
More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.

Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

"It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."
