Three protestors just interrupted Nigel Farage’s speech at today’s Reform party conference to accuse him of working for his super-rich donors and to demand taxes on the super-rich.
Farage Speech Interrupted By Protesters
“You work for billionaires!” one shouted at Farage, referencing recent donations from property tycoon Nick Candy. Another called him out for being “paid by the super-rich to scapegoat migrants.”
They were violently manhandled by conference security and delegates:

The only minority ruining this country is the super-rich.
It’s multi-millionaires & billionaires, like Aaron Banks & Nick Candy, who bankroll Farage’s bigotry.

Reform is overwhelmingly funded by wealthy donors, and recently received £500,000 from property billionaire Nick Candy. Fossil fuel interests, which made up over 90% of Reform UK donations between 2019 and 2024, have also been linked to Farage’s support for fracking.
The protestors are part of Climate Resistance, a group calling for the government to tax the super-rich out of existence and use their extreme wealth to fund public services and climate action.
The stunt follows revelations this morning that Farage uses a private company to avoid paying tax on his earnings from GB News.
The top 10% in the UK hold more wealth than the rest combined. According to YouGov, three quarters of Brits support a wealth tax.
Despite Farage’s claims of being a party for working people, in 2025 all Reform MPs voted to keep zero hour contracts legal and stop day one sick pay.
Sam Simons, spokesperson for Climate Resistance, said:
Farage will go on national TV and say how he cares about the people in the UK, and then vote to keep us from getting our sick pay. This grifter will scapegoat anyone just so we don’t talk about the oil barons and billionaire property tycoons who fund him. It’s really about keeping everyone so divided and downtrodden that we won’t even have time to think about taxing the super-rich.
Meanwhile the super-rich are fanning the flames of climate collapse with their lavish lifestyles, and exploiting people and the planet for profit. The top 10% in the UK hold more wealth than all the rest of us combined, and pollute far more than ordinary people. The majority of Britain wants a wealth tax. It’s time to tax the super-rich and finally do what Reform never would: fund our schools, our hospitals, our climate and our futures.
