The accusation of election fraud is a complete fabrication with zero evidence! Apart from a video of my National Press Officer, London Area Manager and a senior Reform campaigner discussing it.

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests.
People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.
