NIGEL FARAGE’S finances have been boosted, and his man-of-the-people image tarnished, after a billionaire property developer gifted his Reform UK party at least a million pounds.

Nick Candy announced the donation at a photocall with Reform’s owner and leader as the party continues to surge in opinion polls.

Mr Candy confirmed he would be giving a “seven-figure sum” to Reform, which recently grown to more than 100,000 members, and that he has been appointed party treasurer.
