According to sources who have worked at Redfield & Wilton Strategies, Chris Bruni‑Lowe, a long‑time private pollster and close adviser to former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, occupied a significant but unpublicised position within the national polling firm. Although his name does not appear on the company's public roster, insiders say he was involved in day‑to‑day operations and used the firm’s data and analytical capacity to devise possible campaign strategies for Farage‑aligned projects. The arrangement was described as informal, with Bruni‑Lowe leveraging his polling expertise while remaining officially detached from the firm. The Guardian’s investigation, based on multiple testimonies, highlights the opaque relationship between political advisers and polling companies, raising questions about transparency in the development of electoral tactics.
