🚨 Another Major Sunday Times investigation into Reform’s finances. George Cottrell opened an account with obscure Australian payments firm Oneify days before a mystery £500k donation to Reform UK. The money came via his mother Fiona whose ultimate source the NCA couldn’t trace. £1m first went to Richard Tice’s company, then half (£500k) to Reform. Fiona received large unexplained transfers shortly before. Cottrell has continued using Oneify. The firm has links to Montenegro crypto/gambling networks where he’s based. This is on top of the separate £500k from Fiona already under police investigation. Reform listed Tice’s company as the donor not Fiona directly. Questions mount over whether Cottrell was routing money to the party he was already secretly funding (staff, security, etc.). All as Farage’s Clacton by-election showdown with @CountBinface looms!
