In a statement on December 14, 2024, a spokesperson for Cumann Tomás Ó hAirt, Sinn Féin Poblachtach, Ard Mhacha Thuaidh, said: “You would be remiss not to be a little embarrassed having to witness the ever-growing narrative behind money, defection and populism which continues to shape British politics.

“Reform UK has unveiled billionaire property developer – and former Conservative donor – Nick Candy as its treasurer, with the job of raising big money to fight the next general election, the latest in a series of announcements by Nigel Farage’s party aimed at showing it is serious about winning power.

“Nigel Farage’s latest panacea becomes a bloodless coup after pilfering the pockets of the Tories and securing a seven-figure sum from tycoon Nick Candy.

“Farage said of his accomplishments, “We need ammunition and we can’t fight big national campaigns without the money”. There are also rumours that Elon Musk is to weighs in and become the next to show interest in giving Farage and his party tens of millions.

“Sinn Féin Poblachtach says it would be hilarious if it weren’t true. Nick Candy, ex-Tory donor, said he was sorry to say there have been too many broken promises and a complete breach of trust with the wealth creators in Britain.

“Quintessentially, birds of a feather hangout together. Back in 2022, photographs were circulating with Holly Valance (Candy) and her husband, Nick Candy, US president-elect Donald Trump and Mr Farage were pictured wearing their best threads in Mar-a-Lago resort.”
