Reform’s economic vision is to benefit corporations and economic elites through tax and spending cuts, and the deregulation of environmental, health and employment protections.
Farage has repeatedly said that he wants to replace the NHS with a US insurance-based healthcare system that prioritises the profits of private healthcare companies over patients’ needs. Farage confirmed this position in an interview in January 2025 but saying he was open to anything, including a French insurance model.
Farage was the face of the Brexit campaign, which was funding by several super-rich individuals as they saw it as a way to get rid of the EU-wide protections that were (imperfectly) designed to stop big businesses from exploiting workers and polluting our environment. And therefore make more profit.
Dark money is also behind the long term strategy to undermine and destroy climate action. Specifically in relation to Reform, we know that around 90% of donations to Reform in the last couple of years have come from oil and gas industry or climate deniers so it unsurprising that Reform attacks clean energy and net zero policies that will help bolster energy security and tackle climate change, this would threaten their funders’ interests.
In February 2025, Nigel Farage was the “special guest of honour” and keynote speaker at the launch of the UK branch of US-based climate denial think tank, the Heartland Institute
The Institute for Public Policy Research think tank described Reform UK’s 2024 manifesto tax cuts as providing “minimal benefits to lower-income households while significantly increasing the disposable income of higher-income households.”
