Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate Matt Goodwin fuelled by profits from Russian oil

Matt Goodwin at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but served as a visiting fellow for Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit.

The Good Law Project reports that Matt Goodwin, the GB News presenter standing for Reform UK in this month’s Gorton and Denton byelection, says he wants his “country back”. But Good Law Project can reveal that he received a salary of up to €10,000 a month from a far-right pressure group based in Hungary.

Goodwin has been speaking at Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) events since 2024 and seems to have served as a “visiting fellow” since at least last summer, when he returned to Budapest in August to speak on a panel moderated by the British anti-trans commentator Joanna Williams.
