The August By-Election where Nigel Farage resigned his Clacton seat so he fight an election to keep it saw Reform spend £177,000 to see off a challenge from Count Binface
The Observer has revealed that the £48K on advertising £55K on unsolicited leaflets sent to voters and £16K on accommodation. The £177K was just under the current £180k limit for election expenditure. The paper notes that it is equivalent to the cost of a terraced house in Clacton, where Farage or one of his relations also has a house.
With £177K spent on a pointless election perhaps we can understand why Farage needed the £5m bung which remains subject to a Parliamentary investigation.
