Sadly, none of their voters care.
> In a letter to Farage and Reform UK, Mack said that he was making a formal request for him to honour a promise made during a phone call on 3 June, when Farage announced he was standing, and in person on 4 June.
Pity he wasn’t smart enough to get that promise in writing, he could claim through small claims court.
Womp Womp, this is what you get for working with Farage.
Well, I never thought I’d find myself feeling sorry for a Reform UK member.
And I was right.
How has he spent so much? It seems like he’s paid for a website, presumably some brochures out of his own pocket, but then just gladly given the website to Farage/Reform without getting anything in writing…
I can’t see him seeing a penny unless the court of public opinion amongst Reformers tells Farage he should (good luck)
Oh no, how awful.
Anyway, who wants to know about the shit I took earlier?
I called it a Reform.
What did you expect siding with Farage? Of course you were going to be stops down the river if it got Farage money or power.
Before people jump to conclusions: This gentleman was asked to step aside so farage could stand. He was promised that, should he do this, he would be refunded his money spent on campaigning and be given a job in the constituency afterwards as, I assume, an MP’s caseworker. He agreed. Six days later, because he had not seen his money back, he decided to run against Farage. Reform, because he backed out, didn’t refund him his money. As anyone who has had any involvement with a large organisation knows, expenses are not paid out one at a time, but in large blocks (usually at the end of the month). This chap had weirdly unrealistic expectations
