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 👇

Hey @British_Airways -genuinely shocked by the way you treat passengers. More to follow.
British Airways is an embarrassing disgrace of an airline @British_Airways Routinely selling many more tickets than seats, putting lots of passengers on standby who bought tickets months ago, a woeful customer attitude of ‘shrug shrug, not my job’ 🤷‍♂️ Then not sending the luggage of standby passengers: one case may arrive on next flight an hour later, 1 case shrug shrug wait until tomorrow afternoon when it may or may not arrive 🤷‍♂️ Britain is Broken

My thoughts are with Charlie Latchford. This is awful but now part of a pattern - every underhanded media ploy to paint the party as evil makes these dangers worse. Unsurprisingly the mainstream media doesn’t seem to want to cover this vile incident.
🚨 BREAKING: Birmingham Reform UK councillor was sent suspected asbestos package in the post. • Dr Charlie Latchford, the Reform UK councillor for Longbridge and West Heath, reported receiving a package containing suspected asbestos on Thursday. • He said the material was deliberately packaged in a way that would cause maximum exposure to whoever opened it. • Police and fire crews attended the scene, after which Latchford was stripped, isolated outside and his road was quarantined. • The councillor stated that the package will be traced and that no political or personal disagreement justifies putting someone’s health or life at risk. • West Midlands Police treated the incident under Operation Ford and an ambulance was arranged.

😳 Wow! Robert Jenrick just turned the tables on the BBC live on air while being grilled over Reform’s candidate vetting. Asked about the ITV undercover exposé on some Reform councillors and candidates, Jenrick made the obvious point that there’s only so much any organisation can do when it comes to screening people. Then he flipped it straight back at the interviewer: “Look at the BBC for example. Can you now give a guarantee to your listeners this morning that no BBC presenter in the future will be exposed as a paedophile, as a number have been in the recent past? No, of course you can’t. Because you can’t know absolutely everything about every individual in your organisation.” Absolutely ruthless from Robert! 🔥 Does he know something about someone at the BBC that the rest of us don’t? 🤔 You can practically hear the panic behind the scenes. 😂 Jenrick’s right, though. No amount of vetting can guarantee you know everything about every single person in a large organisation. That’s just reality.

STATEMENT I am aware that ITV infiltrated the Portsmouth Reform UK branch for their undercover report. I am featured in their documentary. Not in a bad way, in my opinion, but still featured. I’ll get to that in a minute…. What I am more shocked and disgusted in is that I now know who the two reporters were whom infiltrated us. These two men campaigned with us in March/April in Portsmouth and it leads me to wonder whether their interference in an election is a potential criminal offence. We have no way to know whether they posted flyers they were meant to. Or whether they gave us correct door knocking information. They campaigned in four seats specifically where, in 3, we lost by a small number of votes. Their involvement would have had an impact on the result. By default ITV could have literally paid reporters to ruin an election result for Reform UK candidates. That has to be criminal. On a personal level I allowed these men in my home. I made them drinks. They met my dogs. It’s an entirely disgusting invasion of personal privacy. I have photos of these men and know who they are - I will not disclose them at this stage but may in the future once I’ve gotten advice In relation to my involvement with the documentary I remain firm in everything I personally said. I was never a member of the Portsmouth Patriots, as the documentary states, but I have supported their movement over the years from the sidelines. The executive team who run them are good people. Yes outside third parties have come in and done some abhorrent things. Those people should be condemned. But the local group themselves are decent, passionate, local residents who care deeply about their community. I’m appalled by ITV and hope they are held to account for their potential criminal behaviour and election interference. The two reporters involved in infiltrating Portsmouth I hope are held to account for their personal actions in the outcome of elections. The money, resources and time spent by companies and individuals to damage Reform UK are unprecedented in our political system - you have to ask yourself why?

THE comments made by certain Reform councillors in ITV's expose are horrendous. However, if dozens of undercover reporters spent a year desperately trying to record awful stuff said by people from other political parties, they would be able to find plenty of idiots, racists, misogynists and even extremists. Sad but true.

VERY important context on the ITV sting...
Last night I felt physically disgusted and shocked when I watched the ITV report. Feeney was a Conservative Councillor for a decade and is known to many Conservative Councillors and MPs. Pictured below with both @KemiBadenoch and @JamesCleverly He relatively recently defected to Reform. He passed the Conservative vetting process a number of times before he got to us. He helped Kemi in her leadership campaign when she stood against @RobertJenrick @Nigel_Farage is clear racism will not be tolerated in Reform. Elsewhere in Westminster, it’s alive and well. Anti semitism particularly in Labour and Green Party, hiding in plain sight. Only Reform, the political disruptor and challenger to the cosy two party consensus is under this degree of scrutiny. I’ve watched that report back three times now. Fenney, the protagonist drove a sequence of events to the conclusion. The racist language was off the scale . Exaggerated, dramatic and bizarre. Like he was playing to the gallery. The freakish perverted behaviour of the man who said ‘if that was my daughter..’ was truly revolting. Reform is a party where people of race and women do and will continue to play key roles or I wouldn’t be there. The public now see the undercover stings on Reform for what they are.

Oh James. You look so happy together in thos photo. PMSL.
The comments made by Reform UK councillors are abhorrent. The narrative from Reform is less and less about low taxes, less regulation, smaller government etc and more and more about race and skin colour. There will be plenty of voters and people who defected to Reform who will see these comments and be disgusted. This is not what they were promised and it is not what they want. itv.com/news/2026-10-14/insi…

Nigel Farage's team is not "in meltdown" over his Chagos comments @DPJHodges because it is simply not credible to attack him on this issue. Literally nobody has done more to try to block the scandalous deal with Mauritius set in motion by the Tories and gold plated by Labour.
