Jeremy Hosking — Reform UK Donor & Major Brexit Funder

Twitter/X discussion source: Research conducted May 2026 via Nitter

Full name: Jeremy Hosking Approx total donated (to Reform/ Brexit Party): £2-4 million Source of wealth: Wealthy investor, asset management — founder of Hosking Partners (London-based asset management firm). Long-established City financial figure. Why they donate: Hardline Eurosceptic. One of the original major funders of Brexit campaigns. Backed Nigel Farage's political projects from the Brexit Party through to Reform UK. Controversies: His funding of climate-sceptic causes has drawn attention — Hosking has funded groups questioning climate science and opposing net zero policies. His asset management background places him firmly in the City establishment, despite funding an anti-establishment party. Previously a Conservative donor before switching to Reform.

Twitter/X Discussion

Hosking is named alongside Harborne and Tice as one of the trio providing ~70-75% of Reform UK's income since 2019 — a statistic that circulates widely. The phrase "ex-Tory money under a new flag" is frequently applied to him. He is sometimes cited in threads about "Tufton Street 2.0" — the network of climate-sceptic, free-market groups that fund right-wing causes.

His donations to climate-sceptic causes are flagged by environmental accounts as part of a wider pattern of fossil fuel-linked funding in Reform.

Reddit Discussion

Hosking is less discussed on Reddit than the bigger names (Harborne, Yusuf), but appears in threads about Reform's funding concentration — the statistic that 70-75% of the party's money comes from just three people is a recurring point.

Notes

• Part of the trio (Harborne, Tice, Hosking) who provided 70-75% of all Reform UK / Brexit Party income since 2019
• Represents the flow of ex-Tory donors to Reform
• Funding also goes to climate-sceptic think tanks and campaigns
