Reform mocked over plan to deliver party political newspaper ‘The Reformer’ to 15 million households
'Free toilet paper is always welcome in these trying times'
Reform has been mocked over a plan to send out copies of its own newspaper, The Reformer, to over 15 millions households.
As reported by the Spectator, Reform is preparing to launch its own eight-page newspaper, which it will distribute to 15 million households within the coming weeks.
This comes after a rocky few months for Reform and Nigel Farage, and is aimed at helping the party “bypass traditional media”.
Reform has been hit by successive scandals due to recent media investigations.
These include Farage’s undeclared £5 million donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and a Verbatim investigation which exposed senior Reform officials plotting about how American donors could donate to the party.
Reform also received two donations of £36 million from crypto investors Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne in September.
On X, Reform’s newspaper plan has been widely mocked by social media users.
One user wrote: “Free toilet paper is always welcome in these trying times.”
“The toilet paper industry is expecting a drop in sales due to people receiving an ample supply,” said another.
Another suggested returning the newspaper to sender, writing: “Sounds like a good time to bookmark the Reform UK free post address?”.
Another said: “For years Reform have warned us about the sinister influence of wealthy elites on the media.
“Anyway, here’s a newspaper paid for by their crypto billionaires shoved through your letterbox.”
