Dear John,
£4.75 MILLION! That’s how much Nigel Farage’s party raised in 2024.
That’s an alarming 3,066% increase on how much they raised the previous year. And the facts behind the headlines paint a troubling picture of how he and his wealthy friends are positioning themselves to buy the next General Election:
* Over half of donations came from individuals with links to tax havens or offshore business interests.
* 13 out of 38 donors previously gave to the Conservative Party, showing the scale of the exodus to Farage’s party.
* 40% of donors have openly questioned climate change, invested in fossil fuels or in other climate polluting industries.
* More than TWO THIRDS of donors are millionaires, dwarfing the support they get from the ordinary people whose interests they claim to champion.
Unlike Reform UK, Open Britain’s work is driven by the generosity of our grassroots supporters. Last year, our average donation was £19.97!
POWER THE FIGHTBACK ([link removed])
The 2024 General Election demonstrated how First Past the Post can catapult a party that wins just one-third of the vote into government with two-thirds of the seats.
With Reform UK already polling in first place at around 30%, we must act now to close the loopholes in our democracy that allow Farage and his fatcat friends to exert undue influence on our politics. (Look how well that’s going in the US!)
** Please support us with a monthly donation of £10 to help ensure we never see Nigel Farage as Prime Minister?

Open Britain is uniquely placed to lead this fightback. We are the driving force behind the APPG for Fair Elections, a powerful force of 100+ MPs inside Parliament, and we have 200,000+ grassroots supporters in communities across the country. All of this is focussed on delivering our five core objectives:
1. Pushing back against Farage and the rise of authoritarian populism.
2. Helping more ordinary people understand their democratic rights AND how to use them.
3. Replacing First Past The Post with a Proportional System to ensure seats match votes.
4. Eliminating Dark Money from politics.
5. Combatting disinformation in public debate.
Thank you so much for standing with us - your loyal support genuinely makes a difference.
All the very best,
