Reform UK denies Nigel Farage broke electoral law

Reform UK has denied claims of Nigel Farage breaking electoral law.

It follows a report in Monday’s The Daily Telegraph that Mr Farage has been referred to the police by a former member of his campaign team over claims he falsified election expenses.

The claims relate to Mr Farage’s campaign in Clacton-on-Sea, the seat he won for Reform UK in the 2024 General Election.

In a statement, a Reform UK spokesperson said: “These inaccurate claims come from a disgruntled former councillor… the party denies breaking electoral law. We look forward to clearing our name.”

According to the Telegraph, the claims have been made by Richard Everett, a former Reform councillor.

It is reported by the Telegraph that Mr Everett has submitted documents to the Metropolitan Police.

Mr Everett was one of four councillors who defected from the Conservatives to Reform UK on the eve of the 2024 General Election campaign.

Sky News has not verified the allegations and the Metropolitan Police and the Electoral Commission are yet to comment.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have called for answers from Mr Farage.
