Former Ukip leader given top job in Reform UK
Paul Nuttall, who led the pro-Brexit party for only six months from 2016 to 2017, managed to acquire a reputation for making false claims during his beleaguered leadership. His website and LinkedIn page were found to carry several inaccuracies about the failed politician's past.

These claims were found to be false. And now, Nuttall is understood to be focussing on election campaigns and expanding Reform Reform UK lose two council by-elections in England UK as part of his new role. A Reform source told The Telegraph his role would not be 'front facing' and he would be doing 'purely internal stuff'. The party denied Nuttall would be running a 'six-week summer offensive' starting in July, insisting that leader Nigel Farage would be in charge of this. Nuttall, 48, was elected as a Ukip Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2009, becoming deputy leader a year later. He did not stand in the leadership election after Farage resigned following Brexit in 2016, but was elected to head the party after Diane James resigned. Nuttall failed six times to be elected to the House of Commons, and resigned as party leader in 2017 after he failed to win Boston and Skegness at the general election that year. Ukip saw their votes plummet across the country to just 593,852 from 3,881,099 in 2015.

Now he has followed Farage to Reform UK. We previously told how Nuttall was criticised by families of Hillsborough victims after being caught lying about the disaster that claimed the lives of 96 people in 1989. His website claimed he had lost 'close personal friends' during the tragedy, but later admitted it was not true, blaming whoever wrote the words on his website.

KKR's CEO on the new rules of private equity (and the next big trends)
Scott Nuttall calls them KKR-isms. Inside what is probably the most iconic private equity firm in the world – the original barbarians at the gate – these are the little sayings that help define a culture. It's one that Nuttall, a 29-year veteran of the company and the co-chief executive of the global firm since October 2021, says is one of its great advantages. Some of the KKR-isms are a little folksy – it's not hard to picture phrases such as 'connect the dots' and 'use the whole brain' written on a motivational posters. And we're pretty sure another saying – 'treat people the way you want to be treated' – has been pinched from the Bible.

Travel Village Group to launch new podcast series aimed at bringing 'travel to life'
The Now Boarding podcast will launch on 27 June and will feature Nuttall with either a Travel Village Group employee, a tour operator or a customer. It will be available on Apple Music and Spotify. Travel Village Group was inspired to launch a podcast after hosting several lucrative Travel Shows in Blackpool where staff – including Nuttall and his wife Paula – share "real travel stories and personal experiences" with customers. Speaking exclusively to TTG, Nuttall, the Travel Village Group chief executive, said: 'I told my team when they suggested we produce a podcast to find out what equipment was needed and how we record it. They now want me to front it. 'My team has given me more work to do but of course I'm up for it. As a business, we've got to keep being innovative. We've got to be ahead of the game.' When asked what listeners can expect to hear on Now Boarding, Nuttall said: 'I will try and keep it politically correct. I never go into things trying to be a sensationalist but if it's not real it's not going to work.'

Oro-Medonte receives Barrie's ‘high-level' proposal, counters with terms
When it comes to the City of Barrie's boundary expansion proposal, it seems every time Springwater zigs, Oro-Medonte zags. Last week, Springwater Township council rejected receiving Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall's presentation , 'Proposed Principles for Boundary Adjustment Agreement, City of Barrie and Township of Springwater,' by a vote of 5-2. During its meeting on Wednesday, Oro-Medonte Township council voted unanimously to accept a similar proposal letter from Nuttall, dated May 13, and respond to it with their own set of guiding principles. 'The communication from the City of Barrie does speak for itself in terms of what is before council today,' said Shawn Binns, chief administrative officer for Oro-Medonte. 'This comes from a meeting that was held with the mayor and the deputy (mayor) and myself to understand the facts of the proposal that was put forward by the City of Barrie. I think there's a lot of misconceptions in terms of an agreement and tabling an agreement for council's consideration.' According to Binns, the letter the township received was 'a high-level proposal' with general terms and principles that have been outlined by Barrie for Oro-Medonte council's consideration. 'In no way, shape or form, at this point, is council looking to accept it,' Binns stressed. 'We're still going through the process and we have the ability, I think, to influence that process.' The township drafted a motion that would receive Nuttall's proposal and would articulate the principles that would go back to the City of Barrie and the provincial land development facilitation process to guide future discussions. 'They've come forward to us with a set of terms and principles on behalf of Barrie,' Oro-Medonte Mayor Randy Greenlaw said. 'What we need to do is reply, outlining the terms and principles which we think are an acceptable path forward, which will be merged into the facilitation process moving forward.' Those principles are: Coun. David Clark supported the decision to keep the conversation going. 'What this motion is doing is establishing our continued belief in how this process should go,' he said. 'The City of Barrie has made an offer and we say, 'Thank you for the offer, we're not interested,' but we want to continue to have these discussions with the most pertinent and important information at hand. 'I think it's important to stay engaged,' Clark added. Talk of annexation started about 18 months ago, when, on Nov. 6, 2023, Nuttall presented to the standing committee on heritage, infrastructure and cultural policy during a meeting in Barrie . At that time, he provided the committee with an update on Barrie's housing targets and highlighted why the city requires additional employment land so more residents can have jobs closer to home.

How drone shows are becoming the ‘new fireworks'
When drone pilot Sam Nuttall has 600 of his robotic performers dancing above the Adelaide Oval in a few weeks' time, he is likely to be calmer than you might expect. 'A lot of the work has been done prior to us turning up on the night,' says Nuttall, the chief pilot for Sydney-based AGB Creative, whose three-dimensional drone formations will 'tell' the story of the oval for July's Illuminate Adelaide Festival. Expect a big Sherrin in the sky.
