Nigel Farage's Reform UK has more billionaires lined up to follow Elon Musk's lead and pour cash into 'disrupting' UK politics, a senior party figure claimed today. Nick Candy, the property billionaire and husband of ex-popstar Holly Valance, claimed Reform would out-fundraise all other UK parties, amid claims Mr Musk is poised to open his wallet.

The X owner, who this weekend endorsed German far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), has been linked with a $100million (£79million) gift to Nigel Farage's outfit. In an interview with the Financial Times Mr Candy, the party treasurer and a former Tory donor, said the party would cause 'political disruption like we have never seen before', with the money set to be spent on grassroots campaigning, data and polling.

Earlier this month the Reform leader and treasurer met Mr Musk at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, fuelling speculation about a substantial donation. However, the party was accused of being all talk and no trousers by new Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, who questioned whether any money would come from Musk.
'I don't think he is actually giving them anything ... all we've seen is Nigel Farage saying ''he's going to give me money'', she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. 'Mr Farage says a whole load of things. I don't say things unless they are true ... all Reform does is talk.'.
