Reform invited journalists to verify that this was not the case and the Financial Times among others concluded there was "strong evidence" the party's tally was accurate.

Farage said: "Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree"."My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles."

Minutes after Farage made his statement, Musk posted on X: "Free Tommy Robinson now."In the interview broadcast earlier on Sunday, Farage called Musk a "hero" who makes Reform UK "look cool".But he added that Musk's support "doesn't mean I have to agree with every single statement he makes on X".

Farage said he planned to "have a conversation with (Musk) on a variety of things" - including Robinson - at the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.Farage has maintained close ties to Trump, who has given Musk a role in his administration.

The question now is whether Farage's friendship with the president-elect is affected.

Farage founded Reform UK in 2018, then called the Brexit Party, and returned as the party's leader before being elected as an MP in 2024.There are nine councils in total - not including town and parish councils - each with a chief executive and a headquarters.

It's also particularly problematic for the city council, because it has a small boundary, mostly covering low-income areas, with 80% of properties in council tax bands A or B.Meanwhile, much of the city's more affluent suburbs aren't actually in the city's administrative area.

People living in those suburbs might go into the city and use city services, but they don't contribute to the city pot through council tax.At this point, it seems like this system's days are numbered.
