Reform UK Adviser Held Secret Role at Polling Firm

Chris Bruni-Lowe, a private pollster and close adviser to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, held an unpublicised and influential position at the polling firm Redfield & Wilton Strategies. Former employees claim Bruni-Lowe directed the company's research and operations, occasionally using the alias Chris Redfield, a name appearing in a Washington Post quote.

While internal notes identified Bruni-Lowe as the company's chief operating officer, the firm's sole director, Bruno Rodrigues, describes him only as a consultant who trained interns. Bruni-Lowe allegedly used the firm to create campaign strategies and a dossier on local authority spending intended for sale to political parties.

Rodrigues denies any institutional or financial relationship between Redfield & Wilton and Reform UK or Nigel Farage. These revelations coincide with a police investigation into whether former Reform UK chief of staff Dan Jukes commissioned polling funded by overseas donors through JL Partners.
