NICK CANDY STRIPS OFF TORY GLORY TO JOIN REFORM UK
He’s been the crème‑de‑la‑donations for the Conservatives, but new on the political scene is the bold move to become the treasurer of Nigel Farage’s rebel outfit—Reform UK. The goal? To clinch the 2025 local elections, and maybe even spark a general election win.
“I’ve left the Tories, and it’s a betrayal!”
- Resolved to cut ties: Candy announced his resignation from the Conservative Party after a tenure marked by loyal support and hefty cash contributions.
- Broken promises & trust deficit: He criticised the party’s lack of follow‑through on promises to the “wealth creators” of the nation.
- New shape‑up with Farage: The former donor says, “Nigel Farage is a good mate. Reform UK is the future of British politics.”
- Finance‑chief role: He vows to raise enough money for the new party’s ascent: “I will step up as treasurer next year.”
FARAGE’S HEART‑FELT RECEPTION
Farage was quick to express his delight, describing the move as a win for the fastest‑growing movement in Britain. “Nick’s talent will help transform the country,” Farage affirmed.
SPOTLIGHT ON SUELLA BRAVERMAN’S HUSBAND
Adding to the growing exodus, Rael Braverman—husband to the former Home Secretary—also left the Tories. He reflects a similar sentiment:
- Respectful independence: “We stay mutually respectful; he won’t tell me the party to choose (or vice versa).”
- The party’s decline: Phrases describe it as “a shadow of what it once was” – a mix of incompetence and betrayal of trust.
- Political conviction: “It’s all about genuine service, not empty promises or mismanagement.”
