Reform UK councillors and candidates filmed making racist and violent remarks
An undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK revealed secretly recorded footage of elected councillors and parliamentary candidates making overtly racist, sexist, and violent comments, including slurs directed at minorities and calls for extreme violence against political figures. The findings have sparked immediate political uproar and intensified scrutiny over the party's candidate vetting procedures. Party officials stated that investigations and suspensions have begun for members who behaved inappropriately, while deputy leader Richard Tice and Farage defended their selection efforts, contending that organisations cannot fully predict individuals' future remarks. The full documentary is scheduled to broadcast nationally this weekend, threatening to complicate Reform UK's political momentum. Also in this briefing: Healey says Budget cost-of-living help will be targeted and temporary; Ministers plan to extend the BBC licence fee to Netflix, YouTube and other streamers.
