英国《卫报》披露，奈杰尔·法拉奇的私人民调顾问克里斯·布鲁尼-洛在民调公司雷德菲尔德与威尔顿策略公司担任重要职位，但这一身份从未被公开关联1。布鲁尼-洛曾使用化名"克里斯·雷德菲尔德"1，多位前员工证实他在2020年中期至2022年底以及2025年夏季期间在该公司发挥了关键作用，其中一份2021年夏季员工笔记将其描述为"首席运营官本质上的老板"1。
该公司创始人布鲁诺·罗德里格斯声称公司与改革党没有制度性关系，表示"从未有制度性、民调、研究、委托或财务关系"与改革党或法拉奇存在1。然而，布鲁尼-洛曾运作法拉奇的2015年选举活动，并自2014年起为其进行私人民调1。此外，法拉奇的高级顾问丹·朱克斯曾在2020年寻求在《卫报》等媒体推广该民调公司的工作1。
英国民调委员会规则不要求民调机构公开政治关联，但对已委托和支付的民调的披露有严格指南1。这一事件引发了对英国民调行业透明度的质疑。
Chris Bruney-Lo, a private polling adviser to British politician Nigel Farage, maintained a significant but publicly unacknowledged position at the polling company Redfield & Wilton Strategies, according to an investigation by the Guardian.1 The adviser, who also operated under the alias "Chris Redfield," served in a key capacity at the firm during two separate periods: from mid-2020 to the end of 2022, and again in summer 2025.1 Former employees confirmed Bruney-Lo's central role at the company, with one 2021 internal note describing him as essentially functioning as chief operating officer.1
Bruno Rodriguez, the polling firm's founder, has denied any institutional relationship between his company and Farage's Reform Party, stating there had been "no structural, polling, research, commission or financial relationship" between them.1 However, Bruney-Lo's long history with Farage raises questions about potential undisclosed connections; he has conducted private polling for the politician since 2014 and managed his 2015 election campaign.1 Additionally, Dan Jux, identified as a senior adviser to Farage, attempted in 2020 to secure media coverage promoting the polling firm through outlets including the Guardian.1 The discovery highlights gaps in British polling industry transparency, as the UK Polling Council's rules do not require polling organizations to publicly disclose their political affiliations, though they do maintain strict guidelines for disclosing which polls have been commissioned and who paid for them.1
