Revealed: Nigel Farage adviser had unpublicised role at polling firm

A close adviser to Nigel Farage, Chris Bruni-Lowe, had an influential role at the polling company Redfield & Wilton Strategies, despite not being publicly associated with the firm, according to several sources. Bruni-Lowe, who sometimes went by the name "Chris Redfield," played a significant role in the company's operations and used it to develop potential campaign strategies, sources claim.

The company, founded in 2020, is owned by Bruno Rodrigues, a lawyer, and its main public face was Philip van Scheltinga, a Harvard graduate. Bruni-Lowe's role at the company has raised questions about transparency in the polling industry, given his long-standing association with Farage at a time of intense scrutiny over the party's use of polls to shape its political narrative.
