Richard Tice — Reform UK Donor & Party Figure

Full name: Richard Tice Position: Reform UK MP for Boston & Skegness, former party leader Approx total donated (to Reform UK): £1-3 million (self-funded — donated to his own party) Source of wealth: Property investment — founder of Quidnet Capital. Former CEO of CLS Holdings. Why they donate: As a senior Reform figure (former leader, now MP), Tice has largely self-funded the party's operations. He was one of the key architects of the Brexit Party/Reform UK. Controversies: In April 2026, the Sunday Times reported Tice allegedly owes £91,000 in tax — his property investment company Quidnet REIT Ltd was said to have failed to pay mandatory withholding tax on dividends before paying them to him and his offshore trust in Jersey. Tice's previous company Quidnet Capital was struck off in 2023 for failure to file accounts. His extensive property holdings and use of offshore structures have drawn scrutiny.

Notes

• Was one of three people (with Harborne and Hosking) providing 70-75% of Reform's funding since 2019
• Stepped down as leader to make way for Farage's return to front-line politics
• His business history has been scrutinised more heavily as an MP
