LONDON — Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is being advised by a think tank that denies the science of climate change and claims the U.K. government wants to use electric vehicles to control its citizens.
Lois Perry, U.K. and Europe director of the Heartland Institute think tank, told attendees at Reform’s annual conference last week that she was “very grateful to be able to consult and influence the Reform Party at the highest level.”
The Heartland Institute confirmed to POLITICO this week that it has “held conversations with policymakers within Reform UK.”

The Institute — which is closely aligned with U.S. President Donald Trump’s anti-climate policies — has cast doubt on global warming and branded climate change policies a “hoax” and a “scam.”
