Tory mega donor defects and is given high profile job at Reform UK – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Nick Candy who has been a mega Troy donor has joined Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party and has been given the role of Treasurer.

Farage is hoping that Candy will help Reform UK ahead of the upcoming 2025 local elections, GB New reports.

Candy said “I have today resigned my membership of the Conservative Party after many years of active support and substantial donations to the party.

“I am sorry to say there have been too many broken promises and a complete breach of trust with the wealth creators in our country.

“Nigel Farage is a close personal friend of mine, and Reform UK represents the future of British politics.

“I am pleased to announce that I will now become the Treasurer for Reform UK and intend to raise enough funds for them to win the next general election. I will take up the role in the new year.”

Farage said, “I warmly welcome this decision. We are the fastest-growing movement in British politics today, and Nick’s efforts will help Reform UK transform our country.”

The former Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s husband Rael has also left the Tories and has joined Reform UK.

Braverman said, “My husband and I have a healthy respect for each other’s independence – he doesn’t tell me how to do my job, and I don’t tell him how to pick a political party.”

Braverman’s husband said, “I have left the Conservative Party because it has become a shadow of what it once stood for.

“It’s incompetence and failure to deliver have betrayed the trust of the British people.

“I deeply regret that it has come to this, as there are still a handful of decent MPs trying to do the right thing.

“I believe in politics driven by conviction and a genuine commitment to serving our nation, not by empty promises and mismanagement.”
