Farage vows to go 'double or quits' with £5m local elections spending blitz

On Thursday 7 May, Nigel Farage signalled Reform UK will deploy 5 million on a pre-May local election campaign and vowed to go `double or quits` in May.
Buoyed by a �9 million donation from Christopher Harborne, Reform UK has led polls since April last year, increasing pressure to deliver at the ballot box.
Reform plans to spend the 5m over the next four months on direct mail and social media targeting people who did not vote in the 2024 general election, with the slogan `Britain is broken, Britain needs Reform`.
Poor results could increase pressure on Sir Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch, and Farage said the vote affects the future of the prime minister, opposition leader, and his own strength.
Facing reports about his schooldays, Nigel Farage dismissed The Guardian's allegations of racist language at Dulwich College as an attack by the `mainstream media`, saying `It's having zero effect` and `It's maybe solidifying our core support`.
