Great fat bastard work from Morwenna Banks. Whether she ever feels the need to use the phrase in her present personal life is a moot point I shall not be discussing.

A Reform spokesman has stated “there’s no room for racists in our party”.
Mainly because it’s full of them already and they have to deport a few first.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Well this is a bit fucking awkward isn’t it? Considering that Reform is apparently a male only space that excludes women, @Nigel_Farage.

"Would have been sniffing that seat as soon as she got up. If she'd have given me a hug I'd have fucking fingered her".- Chris Whelan

This is how they talk about female Reform candidates.

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

Farage promised voters the bad apples would be “long gone”.

Tonight, ITV caught Reform doing the opposite: tell them to say sorry, tell them to hide it, and keep them in the party.

This isn’t a few slipping through. It’s a choice. Reform UK must publish the vetting files.

@Bethanymrd explores ITV's latest drop of undercover footage from inside Reform UK.

[ITV News @itvnews]

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.

Warning: Distressing language

In June, an undercover reporter met Alex Lomas, who was helping Reform canvass in Makerfield during the parliamentary by-election that Andy Burnham would go on to win.

Mr Lomas told the reporter he failed Reform’s vetting process twice, but was asked to be a candidate two days later on Oldham.

Reform UK told us: “Not all individuals covertly recorded by ITV are members of Reform UK. 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.

“There is no room for racism in Reform UK. We always respect due process of investigations and whilst these are ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment on individual cases.”

Brilliant investigative journalism from @ITV and @Channel4 to expose Reform Ltd for what they are

The @BBC , who have spent the last five years fawning over Farage's 5 MP party, platforming them on weekly basis should take note

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

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.

As Reform UK’s Sunderland Leader @CllrChrisEynon blocked us, he won’t see that we are reminding everyone that he used to campaign for Boris Johnson, for a Conservative government.

He would really hate this, so whatever you do, don’t also share it.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Dear BBC News (UK)

Racism is indefensible.

Stop enabling the rise of fascism in the UK by allowing Farage perpetual column inches.

Your desperation for Farage clicks is palpable.

Thanks, the sane 80%.

[Melissa Sigodo @melissasigodo]

Nigel Farage would not answer my questions around the racism and sexism in his party when he walked through an Essex town centre today. Instead his ‘bodyguard’ whom I told not to touch me, told me, ‘I can do whatever I want’.

[Duncan Stone @StoneDunk]

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

[Ian L Richardson @ianrich15813274]

One of the Reform councillors exposed by ITV as having extreme racist views represents the ward I grew up in, Waterloo in Ashton Under Lyne. It was always a solidly Labour area back then, mainly home to working class folk. There was a Pakistani comminity in our town, even then 60 years ago, largely working in the local cotton mills. I had no reason to dislike them, far from it, they were working people just like my family. If I had enemies, they were those who felt entitled to wealth & privilege. Being born, raised & educated there made me a lifelong democratic socialist who has always been repulsed by racism, sexism & homophobia. I feel deeply saddened that my childhood home area is represented by people with such vile views, I'm sure generations of Ashton socialists, alive & dead, feel the same, especially those who chased Mosley & his fascists out of town 90 years ago. Like many northern towns, Ashton has a long tradition of fighting for social justice, from Chartists to trade unionists; the far right offer only anger & hate, they offer nothing positive, never have, never will.

More revelations tonight from ITV Exposure’s documentary

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

The desperation to excuse racist and misogynistic behaviour s pathetic

The pretence they are 'new' - they are UKIP then Brexit then Reform - with the same Leader and many of the failed crew around him fpr 10 to 20 years

[Lewis Warner @LewisJWarner]

🚨 NEW: An extraordinary meeting of Solihull Council has been called for Monday to remove Deputy Mayor Alan Feeney following racist remarks exposed by ITV News.

36 councillors back the motion - enough to secure its passage.

The Reform UK group is NOT listed among its supporters

[kerry ✊💙Dont let Farage kill our NHS @hewitson10]

Fair play to Julia Hartley-Brewer, even she’s fucking disgusted with Reforms racist perverted wannabe peado shit.

I never say anything decent about this woman but she’s speaking to Farages core base & telling them facts, something Nigel Farage will never do.
