Jack Anderton

Jack Anderton is a political campaigner and digital strategist from Liverpool who ran Nigel Farage's TikTok account during the 2024 general election, growing it to over 1.3 million followers, and subsequently helped Reform mayor Luke Campbell's campaign in Hull and East Yorkshire. In August 2025, The Guardian reported that Anderton had written on his personal blog that Britain would have been better off had it stayed neutral in the Second World War, that "Russia is not our enemy", and that the UK should copy El Salvador's policy of mass incarceration. He also wrote that "white people are being displaced" via government use of the Equality Act. Reform distanced itself from Anderton following the Guardian reports, though Hope Not Hate reported that he subsequently attended Reform's annual conference with an all-areas pass. From late 2025, Anderton conducted a "New Dawn" university tour, provoking protests at nearly every stop, including over 400 students and staff at York. At Bangor, he was joined by Reform MP Sarah Pochin, and when the university's debating society declined to host them, Reform's head of policy Zia Yusuf threatened to withdraw the university's £30 million in state funding under a future Reform government. When asked on GB News whether he would be "worried if the Jewish population in the UK was growing", he responded "Yes".
