A month ago, we asked for your help to raise £10,000 to tackle political deception—and thanks to your generosity, we’ve already made vital progress. But after last week’s elections, the stakes have risen dramatically.
Reform UK’s sweeping victories—over 600 councillors, control of 10 councils—weren’t won on honest politics. They were won on lies. Lies dressed up as promises. Lies designed to exploit anger and frustration. Lies that were never meant to be kept.
We’re talking about pledges to slash council tax by “cutting waste” when councils have already been cut to the bone. Promises to rid town halls of “woke bureaucracy” when no such bloated bureaucracy exists. Offers of quick fixes to deep, complex problems.
Let’s be clear: they knew these promises were impossible. They knew the maths didn’t add up. But they said them anyway, because winning votes mattered more than telling the truth.
And now they’re in charge. And when the promises collapse under the weight of reality, it won’t just be Reform that suffers, it will be the people who believed them. It will be trust in all politics that takes the hit. Because every lie told by a politician makes it harder for the truth to be heard.
Nigel Farage wants you to believe he’s on the side of ordinary people. But look closer. They are lies. Behind the beer glass and double-breasted suits is a man surrounded by financiers who sneer at public services, who dream of dismantling the NHS, who see workers’ rights as an obstacle. Reform’s leadership isn’t here to make life better, they're here to burn the house down with lies and call it progress.
This isn’t just dangerous. It’s a betrayal. And it’s why our work is more urgent than ever.
Your donations last month helped us push the Political Deception Bill forward. But Reform’s rise shows how much further we need to go. We’re still working towards our £10,000 goal—and every pound you give helps us:
Shine a light on political lies before they can spread
Build pressure for real accountability
Fight for a future where truth matters in politics
We cannot allow lies to win. We cannot allow deception to be rewarded. If you believe politicians should be held accountable for misleading the public, now is the time to act.
