Hello – my name’s Sam Bright, I’m an investigative journalist and writer focused on exposing Nigel Farage, his cronies, and their billionaire backers.

Exposing Farage
I investigate the rich and powerful.
My forté is exposing the malign, monied elites who want to undermine our way of life. I’ve been investigating them for the best part of a decade, and I’m an expert in tracking their funding, networks, and policies.
That includes Farage and his party, Reform UK, which poses the biggest threat to Britain in my lifetime.
Backed by crypto billionaires, Reform plans to decimate public services, unleash masked deportation units on our streets, incapacitate our clean energy industry, and and cosy up to dictators across the globe (not least Donald Trump).
In the past year alone, I have:
Exposed Farage’s connections to Russia and other foreign regimes;
Revealed the millions that Farage has personally received from overseas sources;
Unearthed the financial ties between Reform’s biggest donor and the White House.
Investigative experience
But this isn’t my first rodeo.
I’ve written for the New York Times, The Guardian, the BBC, The Mirror, Led By Donkeys, and a host of other outlets – exposing major corruption scandals.
I was the first journalist to reveal that Michelle Mone’s company, PPE Medpro, had been handed £122 million in Covid contracts.
I know how to root-out stories and find the facts. That means you will be receiving key investigations and insights before anyone else.
“I’ve been really impressed by Sam’s work – persistently finding story after story exposing wrongdoing and hypocrisy at the highest level.”
– Carole Cadwalladr
Fearless and relentless
A few notable exceptions aside, the legacy media isn’t willing or able to investigate the rich, populist, and powerful. Their obsession with “balance” over truth has led them to platform the very people to blame for our current mess.
I’m completely independent – I don’t rely on a billionaire benefactor or corporate advertisers. That allows me to speak truth to power and unearth the facts – without fear or favour.
