This is beyond pathetic
When Reform's letters to postal voters in Portsmouth were ready to go out, two undercover ITV reporters were personally responsible for almost two hundred of them in the ward of Drayton and Farlington.
Reform lost Drayton and Farlington by 24 votes.
The same two men were responsible for delivering leaflets to half the ward of Baffins.
Reform lost Baffins by 85 votes.
These were men whose purpose was to infiltrate Reform UK and damage it.
In two wards decided by a few dozen votes, we believe there are reasonable grounds to conclude that ITV altered the result of British elections.
There is no precedent for this.
It is certainly not journalism.
We believe it to be criminal.
We will hold ITV and its activists to account.
Adam is unlikable in every conceivable way 🤢
Do a morning paper review… let’s see how it holds up against my numbers @BBCNews … a one man band with just an iPhone, no studio and capcut to edit it.

On 19 July 2024, I published two posts on my X account in which I made allegations about Mr Mothin Ali being involved in the Harehills riots. I have accepted these were incorrect and I have jointly made a statement in open Court in order to apologise to Mr Ali and correct the record which is below.

Mothin Ali – apology and Correction
On 18 July 2024, I published a post on my X account in which I stated that Mr Mothin Ali, an elected official and Deputy Leader of the Green Party, was involved in the Harehills riots of July 2024 in which people attacked the police.
That statement was incorrect. In fact, Mr Ali was asked by the police to use his position of trust in the community to help bring about peace on the streets. Mr Ali attended the scene for that purpose alone. He was not involved in the disorder or violence in any way, and on the contrary he was one of the principal reasons of bringing an end to the disorder. I offer my sincere apologies to Mr Ali for my post, the harm I caused, and I have agreed to pay him compensation to vindicate his reputation.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage attacks ITV following a series of secretly recorded conversations in Reform UK
"They only got me telling a joke... they would not do this to any other party... this literally is the establishment trying to do everything they can to throw us out of the picture... I tell you what, maybe what I'll do is I'll commission a team of undercover [operatives], and we'll go and speak to a thousand Tory councillors. You'll find worse. You'll find it everywhere. You'll find it in the pub tonight. It's people, and particularly if they're provoking conversation. Not everyone's been to Oxford University. Not everyone's been to Eton. Not everyone expresses themselves in very carefully formulated language"

Warning: Offensive language
Reform UK MP for Runcorn and Helsby Sarah Pochin has said her party ‘excludes you if you’re a woman’ and that Reform has a ‘male issue’.
The comments were made as part of an undercover investigation inside Reform UK’s political operation that has found senior party officials saying they have to “defend the indefensible”, with Nigel Farage told he was “protecting” one Reform candidate from being sacked for allegedly racist views.
ITV Exposure gained unprecedented access to Reform’s Westminster headquarters, sending in an undercover reporter inside the party in January 2026, where she worked as a press officer. She secretly recorded conversations between Reform officials as they dealt with multiple accusations of racism by Reform councillors and candidates.
Sarah Pochin did not respond to our request for a comment.

How many Tory failures from the last government are regretting the jump aboard the Reform bandwagon I wonder 🤔

Warning: Distressing and graphic language
An undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has found multiple elected councillors and party candidates expressing racist views and using offensive language.
ITV has obtained secretly recorded footage showing Reform officials from across England and Wales using violent, racist and sexist language.
Councillors Alan Feeney, Chris Whelan and Jamie Campbell did not reply to our request for comment. Councillors Feeney and Whelan have since resigned from Reform UK.
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."
