Worth a read, it appears that Fox has been bankrolled by Brexit donor Jeremy Hosking to the tune of £250,000 a year:

The _johnbye x-twitter account illustrates just how much Loser (and Andrew Bridgen) are being subsidized by their patron Jeremy Hosking.

Hosking's cash is clearly being well spent:

Put a [fox emoji] in the [box emoji] on May 2nd and I’ll see to it that London is heard.
I’ll make sure @SadiqKhan hears you too.
He’s got rich from controlling you!

Put a 'Fox in the Box' eh. From Viz 1982
I wonder for how much longer will Jeremy Hosking continue to fund Looza? Is he using him as some kind of tax write-off?
Note 7 is interesting.The Reform Party Ltd, which is owned by Laurence Fox, appears to be something of a one-man band:

Dunno if it ever got brought up in this thread, an oldie but brilliant article David Mitchell wrote about Laurence Fox -
Hands up who takes Laurence Fox seriously | David Mitchell
Tattooing ‘Freedom’ and ‘Space’ on his fists will surely limit the actor’s roles, but is his new political party a plausible alternative?www.theguardian.com
And how can we “celebrate our shared national history” in a way that’s “free from political bias or agendas”? Asserting that British history is to be celebrated is itself an agenda. It’s taking what happened and putting a positive spin on it. Anyone who claims that all the facts of British history are self-evidently wonderful and glorious is a dangerous and delusional nationalist.
Is that what Laurence Fox is? Or will he just say any old shit because he wants attention?
Isn't there already an inclusive British carnival, in which members of all ethnic groups attend and participate. Or does he just mean one run by only White people?
