Reform UK Wastes Crypto Millions on Boring Phone Game

Nigel Farage's Reform UK party has received £72 million in funding from crypto billionaires. The party was questioned about how it would use this money, but instead of launching a billboard campaign or creating messaging teams, they created a phone game called Small Boat Scramble.

The game allows players to control a Royal Navy vessel and turn back migrant dinghies as they cross the English Channel. However, critics have described the game as 'utter dreck' with gameplay that is both derivative and boring.

Players can wipe their finger across the bottom of the screen to hit the dinghies, but there's no sense of reward or progression. The game is so monotonous that the £5,000 prize for the highest score over a month feels like a joke.

Reform UK has also launched an app called SmallBoatWatch, which updates users on Home Office stats showing small boat crossings. However, this data is not up to date, with zero crossings detected this week and an estimated cost of £0.
