Reform UK Deputy Leader's Company Routed £613,000 to Party Amid Loan from Convicted Fraudster

In December 2024, Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice's company Tisun Investments received a £78,100 loan from George Cottrell — a US-convicted fraudster and Reform UK adviser. Weeks later, Tisun routed £613,000 to Reform UK, then received £655,000 Tice called a Dubai property overpayment, before repaying Cottrell. The National Crime Agency and police are among bodies scrutinizing these flows.
