Reform UK flounced off to the police to report ITV for the undercover filming that exposed their bigotry – 24 epic eye-rolls

Everybody duck. Reform UK is chucking dead cats about like there’s no tomorrow, to try and distract attention from – well, all this –

Nigel Farage’s failure to declare a gift of £5 million from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire.

The Parliamentary watchdog’s investigation into Nigel Farage’s £1.4 million cash purchase of a house in Surrey, and an £885,000 property in Clacton-on-Sea, which he claimed he’d bought, before changing that story to say his partner had bought it.

Questions about revelations from undercover filming that suggest Reform has repeatedly taken steps to get around rules against overseas donations.

A police investigation into funding for Robert Jenrick’s campaign when he ran for the leadership of the Tories, prior to jumping ship.

Further criminal investigations into money paid to Reform UK after being funnelled through a business owned by Richard Tice, and possibly originating with a convicted fraudster and Reform donor, George Cottrell, known as Posh George.

Parliamentary Standards investigating an undeclared loan made to Richard Tice by Posh George, and why he didn’t declare a paid trip to Israel when he made a speech in the Commons about Israeli influence on UK politics.

And that was before the recent undercover filming that showed Reform officials and candidates using a wide variety of problematic language, and suggested Nigel Farage overruled attempts to get rid of racists from the party.

Warning: Distressing and graphic language

A Reform councillor from South London has been recorded calling for King Charles to be decapitated because he “is a Muslim”, while another senior Reform councillor from Solihull said of Asian people: “drag out of their homes, stick them on planes and **** them off to Pakistan.”

It’s part of an undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

Councillor Dean Miller told us he was heavily medicated at the time due to a chronic pain condition and has since resigned from Reform.
Councillor Raymond Dunning did not respond to our request for comment.

In a statement shared with ITV News, Reform UK said "Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed."

"Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations."

Reform denies all wrongdoing.

In a very Trumpian move, Reform has reported ITV to the police.

🚨 BREAKING: Reform UK has reported ITV and its reporters to the police after going undercover in the party for a year

"They forged a passport. They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly results. They lied to a veteran"

Despite ‘making Reform look bad’ not actually being a crime yet, Zia Yusuf, the self-described Shadow Home Secretary, had a list of grievances.

STATEMENT:

Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.

Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.

They forged a passport.

They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.

They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.

This is unprecedented.

The police are now involved.

Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.

But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.

Here’s what happened 👇

The usual suspects lined up behind him.

The side-eye was visible from Westminster to Clacton – two places that Nigel Farage avoids like a Parliamentary Declaration of Interests form, apparently.
