There is something rotten at the heart of the UK. It’s not people who love the UK and its values. It is a group of people who would have joined the SS and murdered millions.
From Reform UK and Restore Britain to Tommy’s mob and other extremist groups. They are all funded by one or more of pro-Israel, hard-right US figures and Russian assets, and their role is to destroy the fabric of the country.
Yeah, because nothing screams "patriot" like race-rioting, intimidating local communities, attacking police officers and sieg-heiling in public apparently… apparently.

Following the Money
The British far right often presents itself as a grassroots movement speaking for ordinary people abandoned by the political establishment. Yet a closer examination reveals a movement increasingly supported by wealthy donors, international networks and foreign political influences.
The most obvious example is Reform UK. Led by Nigel Farage, the party has attracted millions of pounds from wealthy businessmen and financiers. In recent years, Reform has received record-breaking donations from billionaire backers, including crypto entrepreneur Christopher Harborne, whose financial support has helped transform the party into a major political force.
Critics have long raised questions about Reform UK’s connections to individuals with business interests linked to Russia. While there is no evidence that the Russian state directly funds Reform UK, concerns persist over donors with Russian commercial connections and Farage’s long history of controversial comments regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin. Researchers and political watchdogs continue to debate the extent to which Russian influence operations have benefited nationalist and populist movements across Europe, including those in Britain.
The wider far-right ecosystem has also received support from organisations and individuals associated with the international anti-Muslim movement. Tommy Robinson, one of Britain’s most prominent far-right activists, received support from the United States, including funding from the Middle East Forum, a conservative organisation known for its strongly pro-Israel positions. This has led some critics to argue that sections of the international pro-Israel lobby have viewed anti-Muslim activists as useful allies.
The emergence of Restore Britain has added another dimension to Britain’s radical right. Founded by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe after his split from Reform, the party promotes hard-line positions on immigration, national identity and cultural issues. Restore Britain openly solicits donations through membership schemes and a high-value “Cromwell Club” for major contributors.
Although there is currently little public evidence of major foreign funding for Restore Britain, the party has benefited from support and endorsement from international right-wing figures, most notably billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Political commentators have argued that Restore Britain forms part of a growing transatlantic network of nationalist and anti-immigration movements that share ideas, campaign strategies and online platforms.
The bigger story is not necessarily secret funding from foreign governments. It is the growing internationalisation of far-right politics. Ideas, money, social media influence and political endorsements increasingly flow across borders. Wealthy donors in one country can amplify political movements in another. Foreign influence operations can exploit domestic grievances. Billionaires can use online platforms to promote favoured political causes.
Whether through wealthy financiers, international anti-Muslim networks, Russian influence campaigns or global right-wing media ecosystems, Britain’s radical right is no longer simply a domestic phenomenon. Reform UK and Restore Britain may present themselves as defenders of national sovereignty, but they operate within a political ecosystem that is increasingly international in both its funding and its influence. And those who fund them are pulling their strings. Anti-establishment? They certainly are not.
