Protesters stage demonstration inside Reform UK's London HQ

Campaigners who wore masks of Farage along with the faces of other well-known billionaires like Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, held books with slogans like 'profit over people' and 'the art of hoarding wealth'. Signs were also erected outside the Reform headquarters, which read 'fast track: tax breaks super rich only' and 'wait here: NHS delays, housing crisis, rising bills, extreme weather'.

'In LONDON we're at Reform UK's HQ where Nigel Farage is rolling out the red carpet for the super-rich - promising tax breaks for his billionaire mates like Nick Candy while the rest of us pay the price with crumbling schools, hospitals and homes.'

However, experts have warned that the policy could cost the UK around £34 billion and that some highly skilled and highly paid professionals would not be able to afford the £250,000. Farage has also previously been criticised for cosing up with billionaires, as Musk's father said in December, the Reform leader would get a $100 million donation if it is needed to ensure that the party wins the next General Election.
