NEWLY launched “centrist” party Change UK is in serious difficulty, with founder member Chuka Umunna quitting to join the Lib Dems after grim EU election results. But what about the other “new centrist party,” United for Change, set up by multimillionaire Simon Franks?
According to its latest accounts, United for Change has plenty of money. But that doesn’t buy it success: in the latest stumble, its chief executive has resigned as its public launch recedes into the distance.
This new party started as a company with the codename-sounding title Project One Movement. The latest accounts for the company, since renamed United for Change, were filed in June.
