		</div><p>The British Government has spent tens of thousands of pounds in recent days on adverts promising “Brexit is happening” on October 31, despite increasing uncertainty over whether it actually will.</p>
<p>Figures from Facebook showed the Government had laid out £30,531 on the targeted posts in the five days since they were launched on September 4 – the same week MPs voted to block a no-deal departure.</p>
<p>The adverts point to information for businesses and members of the public on how to prepare for the planned exit on Halloween.</p>
<p>The campaign has also been featured on other social networks and on posters and billboards around the country since the start of September, as part of a promotional effort reported to be costing the British taxpayer around £100 million.</p>
<p>Figures for the spending on those formats are not publicly available, meaning the total amount spent is already likely to be far higher than £30,000.</p>
<p>Facebook began releasing data on ad spending last year, following criticism for how it shared personal data with advertisers and political groups, including Cambridge Analytica.</p>

<p>The platform allows advertisers to pay to target users based on information they have shared on the site, including age, gender, location and interests.</p>
<div data-google-query-id="CK_wzvGAxOQCFRSK7QoduWIGNQ">
<p>Facebook data also shows that the Brexit Party and the Conservatives have spent the most on their main pages over the past 30 days.</p>
<p>A combined £48,113 was spent on adverts on the Brexit Party and Nigel Farage pages over the period.</p>
<p>The messages included calls for a no-deal exit and, more recently, an offer of an electoral pact with Boris Johnson if he guaranteed a “clean-break Brexit”.</p>
