We believe ITV broke the law to wage a politicised and biased campaign against Reform UK. We will pursue civil action and press for criminal prosecution. No broadcaster is above the law or entitled to interfere unlawfully in elections without consequence.
BBC undercover sting:
Bradford solicitor Mohammad Alias Yousaf filmed offering to make a £45,000 illegal-worker fine disappear.
He told a reporter posing as a mini-mart owner to find someone “who’s gone back to Iraq or Iran,” put their name as the business owner, and shift the fine onto them. Fee: 10% upfront.
£150m+ in these fines remains unpaid. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has ordered a review.
And you wonder why the judiciary in this country is fcked. We've turned into corrupt Pakistan.
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.
