Four Homes Farage flogs champagne breakfasts for a quarter-million quid
The elites get squiffy on overpriced bubbles with the Reform UK leader, while the rest of us deal with the sober reality of surviving
He’s long painted himself as the pint-downing, pub-loving voice of Britain’s silent majority. But Nigel “Four Homes” Farage’s latest venture into high-end hobnobbing might leave his ordinary working supporters choking on their cornflakes.
As reported by Desmog, Reform UK—the party fronted by Mr Farage and built on the premise of championing the “ordinary Brit”—is offering a jaw-dropping package of perks for corporate donors at its upcoming conference, including the chance to sip champagne over breakfast with the man himself... for a cool £250,000.
Cash for access
Yes, you read that right.
The party’s commercial brochure offers a range of luxury-priced access tiers, with the most expensive—the so-called “Accelerator Package”—including 10 invitations to a “champagne breakfast” with Farage, “unlimited complimentary drinks”, “chauffeur-driven travel”, a personal assistant, and even branding on Reform’s main stage and infamous battle bus. Attendees can also strike a pose with Farage in a “team photo”.
All of this from a party that claims to rail against the elites.
The Good Law Project, a campaign group, slammed the offering stating, “Many will see the price tag attached to the ‘champagne breakfast’ with Nigel Farage as tantamount to cash for access” and accused Farage of eroding trust in politics.
And while £250,000 might secure the VIP treatment, those with slightly shallower pockets aren’t excluded entirely.
The £60,000 “Momentum Package” gets you six seats at the breakfast, a “photo opportunity” with Farage and former Reform chairman Zia Yusuf, and some advertising to boot.
Yusuf, who once ran a luxury concierge firm catering to the ultra-wealthy, is now heading Reform’s Elon Musk-inspired “Department of Government Efficiency”, a scheme aimed at slashing local council spending and binning climate policies.
And for those still counting the pennies, a mere £25,000 gets you the “Catalyst Package”, which comes with four champagne breakfast invites and access to the “official after party”.
The sober reality
All this comes at a time when regular Brits are feeling the pinch. Inflation unexpectedly spiked to 3.6% in June—well above forecasts and the Bank of England’s comfort zone. Soaring food prices and stubborn air fares for holidays, the fastest price rise since 2018, are piling pressure on households.
Motor fuel prices are falling—but not as swiftly as last year—adding household pressures. Meanwhile, core inflation climbed to 3.7%, keeping mortgage‑paying families on edge.
These cost-of-living worries are in sharp contrast to Four Homes Farage. Reform has already banked donations from the upper echelons of British wealth, including City traders, Mayfair club owners and property tycoons.
Deep Fake Farage?
For a man who’s built a career railing against the so-called “establishment”, it all seems a little... well, establishment. Four Homes Farage’s pint-swigging, man-of-the-people persona appears to be wearing thin when his party is literally selling seats at the breakfast table for the price of a small house while ordinary people are worried about their mortgage repayments on a small bouse.
It begs the question: is Reform UK really the party for the “forgotten millions”, or just another vehicle for the wealthy elites to buy their way to political influence—this time with bubbles and a photo op? Is “Four Homes Farage” really the right name or should it be “Deep Fake Farage”?
