A TOP international consulting firm has hired one of Nigel Farage’s assistants, in a clear sign the lobbyists think their clients will want to cosy up to Reform.
In November 2023, Leah Thornton started working as Farage’s personal assistant. Then, when he was elected an MP in July 2024, she became his parliamentary assistant. Last month, however, she left his office to take up a job as a consultant at advisory and lobbying firm Flint Global. In her new role Thornton will be “leveraging insights from previous roles in Nigel Farage’s offices” while “collaborating with diverse stakeholders to navigate complex political landscapes”, according to her LinkedIn.
