And in there were a couple of documents about this guy, Chris Harbourne, who rang a bell for me as a donor, one of the bigger political donors.
So we got into his relationship with Johnson.

And I've just been going deeper and deeper and deeper down various rabbit holes.
He's massively important.
I think we can safely say that reform, Nigel Farage's political project, Reform Now, the Brexit party as it was, is uniquely dependent on this mega donor, Chris Harbourne.
About two thirds of the donations that have come in to fund Farage's party have been from this one guy, Chris Harbourne.
ยฃ22 million.
In the UK, that's huge.
So there's Christopher Charles Sheriff Harborne, born 1962 in Mossborough.

Edgar has an ancestor who's R.C.
Sheriff, who wrote Dambusters.

And then you've got Chris growing up, middle of three kids and a very privileged young life.
