Reclaim Party

[12] MP Andrew Bridgen was expelled from the Conservative Party in January 2023 for tweeting "As one consultant cardiologist said to me, [the COVID-19 vaccines are] the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust",[13] repeating COVID conspiracy claims and for breaching lobbying rules.

[18] In March 2021, Fox announced he would stand in the London mayoral elections, in order to "fight against extreme political correctness" and to "end the Met's obsession with diversity and inclusivity".

[21] The major source of Fox's campaign funds was Brexit backer Jeremy Hosking,[22] who, in the first quarter of 2021, gave The Reclaim Party more than £1,000,000 in cash and services.

[24][25] The party stood one candidate, Leo Kearse, in Glasgow Pollok for the 2021 Scottish Parliament election; he received 114 votes (0.3 per cent), coming in eighth place on the constituency list.

[33] In June 2023, Reclaim Party leader Laurence Fox announced his intention to contest the 2023 Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.

[39] The four Conservative MPs, Andrea Jenkyns, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Marco Longhi and Karl McCartney, who had accepted the donation in exchange for backing Reclaim’s “four-point commitment to culture”, all lost their seats.
