It’s no secret Reform isn’t very good at vetting – earlier this year, even Nigel Farage admitted it’s been “pisspoor” in the past – but perhaps this isn’t the main scandal. Worse than the fact Reform struggles to detect people with extreme views wanting to stand under its banner, once the party finds out about them, it often happily lets them stay.

To drive the point home, here are ten examples of Reform councillors who have been exposed for making racist, far-right and conspiratorial comments online. All of them remain in the party.

A new report from HOPE not hate reveals that 43% of the British public would be unhappy with a Reform UK government.

HOPE not hate finds that anti-Reform voters are a bigger bloc than Reform’s own waning support base. However, they are not a single cohesive group, but rather a coalition of voters with different ideologies and attitudes, united by opposition to the far-right party.

Anki Deo from HOPE not hate spoke about the report and how tactical voting could keep Nigel Farage and Reform UK out of Number Ten.

It was late on a Friday night last September and Ant Middleton, the ex-special forces soldier, had an exciting announcement to make. He had launched a cryptocurrency token and fans could now buy in.

But after just nine days, without explanation, he stopped promoting the token. The price of ANT Coin plummeted. And Middleton hasn’t mentioned it since.

A HOPE not hate analysis has found that Middleton’s token (in which he partnered with a convicted drug trafficker) exhibits signs often seen with so-called “pump and dump” schemes which take advantage of gullible online traders.
