Farage, Nigel Paul. Reform UK.

21,225. CHEERING

MAN: Come on! Come on, Nigel!

When Nigel Farage was first elected as an MP,

he made a promise to the country.

From today...

..we are going to professionalise the party.

And those few bad apples that have crept in will be gone,

will be long gone,

and we will never have any of their type back in our organisation.

You have the 100% promise on that. APPLAUSE

Reform UK had been forced to drop more than a dozen

parliamentary candidates in the run-up to the 2024 general election

after racist and offensive comments came to light.

Farage has made clear what he thinks of his party's past system

for vetting candidates.

Piss poor.

And we, frankly, haven't put enough effort in,

or professionalism in, to find out the truth about them.

He's been promising change for two years.

But in future, we will be vetting candidates rigorously at all levels.

I promise you that. APPLAUSE

We don't want extremists. We don't want bigots.

In that time, Reform's rise has transformed British politics.

It now has eight MPs, two mayors and runs 23 councils.

It's attracted unprecedented multimillion-pound donations,

even while some of its fundraising is being investigated by police.

Something remarkable is gonna happen

in a way that has never been seen in any of our lifetimes.

But the question remains - are he and his party serious

about driving out extremists and bigots?

For the past year, we've been undercover inside Reform.

It's busier today.

Travelling across Britain

and secretly filming at every level of the party.

We join activists on the campaign trail.

We spend time with elected Reform councillors

who've been through party vetting.

We hear how they talk about their female colleagues.

We meet aspiring Reform MPs.

We hear what a high-profile MP thinks of some in her party.

We investigate close links between Reform politicians

and those with far-right views.

And we go undercover in the party headquarters,

where we find evidence of a toxic culture.

Of offensive views being covered up.

And that people who hold those views

are being protected by those at the very top.

It's September 2025,

and Reform is holding its biggest-ever national conference.

Party officials say more than 10,000 people,

mostly paid-up members, will attend the event.

Among them, one of our undercover reporters.

CHEERING AND WHISTLING

We are all ships rising on a turquoise tide,

headed ever closer towards winning the next general election.

CHEERING

I promised you a year ago I would professionalise the party.

Have a look around you. Have a look at this conference.

Haven't our team done just the most amazing job?

I think we're on track. I think we're on our way.

Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you.

After the speeches,

our reporter mixes with members of this "professionalised party".

Some talk about the racists they've met.

And soon after, we hear extreme views.

Other delegates are more cautious about voicing controversial views.

NEWSREADER: All political eyes in Wales this week

are on a constituency that, up until now,

has been a bedrock Labour heartland.

The views we've heard so far are from Reform's grassroots.

When a by-election is called in Caerphilly,

we want to find out if they reflect a wider culture in the party.

I'm here today to launch our candidate

for this Caerphilly by-election to the Senedd.

Nigel Farage says Reform will throw everything at the campaign.

We are in it to win it. Simple as.

He appeals to party activists from across Britain

to come and help get the voters out for Reform.

Our undercover reporter joins them.

He's sent out with Martin Roberts,

a branch treasurer from nearby Pontypridd.

He stood as the party's candidate

in a local council by-election.

While they're canvassing, a man comes out of a house with an axe.

ROBERTS: Fucking hell! LAUGHS

REPORTER: Yeah.

The conversation turns

to Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch.

After the election, Martin Roberts gets a promotion.

Reform makes him the campaign coordinator for his local area.

He's also now a caseworker

for a Reform politician in the Welsh Parliament.

Our reporter's out leafleting again,

this time with Reform activist Ade Pitman.

They're joined on the road by another local party campaigner.

Pitman discusses the Labour government.

The Kalergi Plan is a racist conspiracy theory,

expounded by some on the far-right,

which claims immigration is part of a genocidal plan

to replace white Europeans.

Throughout the day,

Pitman makes violent and bigoted comments.

Pitman supports and campaigns for Reform

but says he didn't renew his membership

after Nigel Farage appointed a Muslim, Zia Yusuf, as Party Chair.

In the end, Reform falls short, with voters electing Plaid Cymru.

But are the sorts of views we're encountering

simply at the grassroots,

or are they also held by those higher up in the party?

NEWSREADER: Nigel Farage is under pressure to apologise

after several former classmates accused him

of antisemitic, racist behaviour

while he was at school nearly 50 years ago.

Reform's leader faces a major controversy around race.

I have this incredibly clear memory

of him persistently heckling and hectoring me as a Jew.

and hectoring me as a Jew.

He'd say things like, "Hitler was right," and, "Gas 'em."

And... HISSES

The sound of gas escaping, basically.

The question is, did you ever

racially abuse fellow pupils in school?

You've caveated it with a hurtful... No. Not with intent.

I've never directly really tried to go and hurt anybody.

Have I said things 50 years ago

that you could interpret as being a banter in a playground,

you could interpret in the modern light of day

in some sort of way? Yes.

WOMAN: Do you think saying to a Jewish person "Hitler was right"

is direct racial abuse?

Yes, I do, and I'm quite sure that...

I can't believe anybody would have said that.

And this is... Including your leader?

Yes. This is all made-up twaddle

by people who don't want Nigel to be Prime Minister of the country.

As the controversy rages,

one of our undercover team successfully applies for a job

inside Reform.

She'll be working in the heart of the party's operation,

with some of its most senior figures,

as a press officer in Reform's Westminster headquarters.

It's an opportunity to see from the inside

if Nigel Farage is serious about his promise to clean up his party.

It's on. Wish me luck.

Before she starts her job,

our reporter Sophie is invited to Reform's Christmas party.

At the event are dozens of senior Reform staff, MPs

and the party's top leadership.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nigel Farage takes to the stage.

Behind closed doors, they seem to be laughing

at the schoolboy racism allegations Farage is facing.

Reform's vetting team checks the background

of those who want to stand for election for the party,

such as councillors or MPs.

Nigel Farage's pledge to professionalise Reform

and keep extremists out rests on their shoulders.

That summer,

Reform made its checks on candidates less stringent.

It said it was to strike a better balance

between its reputation and freedom of expression.

Those who'd previously failed vetting

were strongly encouraged by the party to reapply.

SOPHIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The official explains how he sees Reform's approach to vetting.

Filming undercover in the following months

would reveal how ineffective their vetting processes could be.

Can I get a Prosecco, please?

Also at the party is a Reform MP.

At the time,

Sarah Pochin is the party's only female Member of Parliament.

At the party is Sophie's new boss,

Ed Sumner, Director of Communications.

He holds a senior role in Reform

and is likely to have a powerful position in government

if Farage makes it to Number 10.

Also there, Dan Dukes, at the time a close aide to Nigel Farage.

He'd later step down amid allegations about funding.

He denies any wrongdoing.

We're good, we're good, we're good.

And the press officer.

They warned Sophie about the demands of her new role

and how far she'll have to go to defend the party.

Dr Chris Parry is Reform's candidate

to be the Mayor of Hampshire and the Solent.

But a post from him on social media about the-then Deputy Prime Minister

has just sparked another controversy about racism in the party.

He has said that David Lammy should "go home to the Caribbean,

"where his true loyalties lie".

Lammy was born and raised in London.

And these comments are dangerous, they're wrong,

and I hope that Reform's leadership will call it out.

Parry also questioned the loyalty

of eight other prominent Black and Muslim politicians.

Reform's leadership is now under pressure to sack him.

Parry's days appear to be numbered.

But when Sophie starts work in Reform's HQ,

she'll learn how this controversy over racism is handled

by those at the very top.

NARRATOR: It's Sophie's first day

working undercover as a press officer.

She'll be based in the heart of Reform's Westminster HQ.

Her new boss told her at the Christmas party

that Reform's candidate to be Mayor of Hampshire,

Chris Parry, was a racist and was going to be fired.

But three weeks on, he's still in post.

So, what's going on?

Two days later, Sophie's at a Reform press conference

when a journalist questions Farage about Parry.

Your Hampshire and Solent candidate, Chris Parry,

said that David Lammy must go home to the Caribbean,

praised Enoch Powell,

questioned the loyalty of ethnic minority politicians,

described Birmingham as a failed colony.

Is he a good representative of your party?

Look, some of his comments are a bit rich.

I get that. He is intensely patriotic.

He's ridden to the rank of Rear Admiral.

He's given enormous service to this country.

Nigel Farage is backing Parry, even though behind the scenes,

some of his senior staff think Parry is a racist and want him sacked.

I do think his comments on Lammy were over the top,

and he should apologise for them.

It's left to a press officer

to work on an apology from Parry to David Lammy.

But he tells Director of Communications Ed Sumner

Parry's reluctant to apologise.

The press team updates Nigel Farage.

Farage appears to hope that a public apology

that a public apology

will head off the claims that Parry is a racist.

But later, Parry tries to water down the apology

the team has written for him.

The press office had told Parry to lie low,

but the following week, he posts about a Nazi war criminal,

Admiral Donitz, who ran Germany in 1945 after Hitler's suicide.

News spreads around the office.

Allowed to stay on this time, Parry was eventually suspended,

pending investigation in March

over controversial comments about a Jewish Neighbourhood Watch group.

Reform hasn't published the results of its investigation.

Parry says there never was one. He's since left the party.

The racism and antisemitism allegations

against Nigel Farage haven't gone away.

Over 30 people have now come forward with accounts of his behaviour

at his school, Dulwich College.

Reform is still saying the claims are false.

ITV News did a report

where they interviewed five of your former classmates,

where, for the first time during a broadcast interview,

they outlined the allegations of antisemitism and racism

that they say you are responsible for.

Will you apologise to them?

And if not, why do you find it so difficult to apologise to people

who are clearly hurt by what they say you did?

I don't apologise for things that are complete made up fantasies.

Just absolute nonsense by people with very obvious,

if you looked, political motivation.

Sophie and the team go for drinks after work.

They're joined by Gawain Towler.

He's worked closely with Nigel Farage for over 20 years

and is a member of Reform's board.

Sophie asks him about the allegations facing Farage.

Sophie asks Towler if he thinks his old friend Farage

really did abuse fellow pupils.

Later, Farage does say he's sorry if anyone was upset by his behaviour.

He denies saying anything serious and says he'd be very surprised

if teenagers in an all-boys school in the 1970s hadn't been brutal

and said things to each other.

One of his accusers describes it as a non-apology.

Reform is rapidly recruiting hundreds of its members

to stand for election across the UK.

It's running a day of media training

for candidates for the Welsh Parliament.

Reform board member Darren Grimes is on the phone,

playing the role of a journalist in a mock radio interview.

He's interviewing Karl Lewis,

a serving Reform councillor who wants to run for the Senedd.

Lewis came under scrutiny while serving as a Conservative

for liking and sharing offensive,

extremist and anti-migrant material online.

APPLAUSE

SOPHIE: Thank you.

Councillor Lewis is applauded

for his handling of the difficult questions.

If you guys just don't mind lining up here.

Our reporter Sophie wants to know what he really thinks

about the posts he previously shared.

Councillor Lewis appears to be the kind of candidate

Farage says he'll root out of Reform.

Instead, he's being trained by the party in how to handle the media.

Later that day, he tells our reporter

his problem is with radical Islam, not moderate Muslims.

In the end, he fails to win a seat in the Senedd

in the May elections but is still a councillor.

Earlier on the training day, Sophie's boss, Ed Sumner,

and a senior Reform official

had mocked the quality of the candidates.

The "nutter" in question ran for Reform

in both the 2024 general election and the 2026 Senedd election.

They then discuss how their candidates can avoid media scrutiny.

Hello. My name is Ian Cooper, and, until December 2025,

the Reform UK leader of Staffordshire County Council.

The following day brings more questions

about the effectiveness of Reform's vetting.

I have decided to resign from Reform UK.

My political journey with them has ended.

Prominent councillor Ian Cooper was expelled by Reform

after he allegedly made dozens of racist and bigoted posts.

He was also reported to be a so-called "top fan"

of a white supremacist Facebook page called The European Race.

"Top fan" is a badge given to users

who regularly like and comment on a page's content.

Despite resigning as leader of Staffordshire Council,

Cooper appealed against his expulsion from the party.

The press officer reveals what happened next

behind the scenes at Reform HQ.

He's saying that Nigel Farage was in two minds

about removing a senior Reform councillor

said to be a "top fan" of a white supremacist site.

If true, that calls into question

Farage's promise to clean up his party.

But Councillor Cooper isn't the only Reform politician

with alleged links to racist material online.

Another embarrassing problem emerges.

This time, the councillor is Gavin Beales.

Councillor Beales' link to WhiteDate

was revealed after members' details were leaked.

Four days earlier,

a newspaper reported that the site said

it's exclusively for whites and Europids seeking tribal love.

It promotes the survival of the white race

and has links to forums and material

associated with fascist and Nazi ideology.

But Reform's press officers seem to be either unaware or unconcerned.

to be either unaware or unconcerned.

The following week, the party makes a decision.

But Reform's press officers seem to be either unaware or unconcerned.

The following week, the party makes a decision.

Beales said he was inadvertently linked to the site,

would not have chosen to join, and he abhors racism.

One person does get fired by Reform.

In her third week, our undercover reporter Sophie

is called into a meeting

and told she's not the right fit for the party.

LIFT: 'Ground floor.'

She's dismissed with immediate effect.

But we'd soon find out for ourselves

what impact Reform's approach to vetting has

on its candidates across the country.

REPORTER: This is no ordinary by-election.

It might feel local, but it is being watched very closely in Westminster.

When a by-election is called in Gorton and Denton,

Reform selects controversial former academic Matt Goodwin

as its candidate.

These are the core votes. They're the workers.

Our reporter joins councillors and activists

from across the country who've come to help with canvassing.

It's busier today. It will be.

Among them is Alan Feeney, a councillor for Solihull.

He defected from the Tories last year

and should have been vetted when he joined Reform.

He's also a senior prison officer at HMP Birmingham.

It soon becomes clear he blames one group in particular

for problems in his area.

We'd later find out

how Councillor Feeney puts his views into practice

in the campaign for his own council seat.

So, I hereby declare that Hannah Katherine Spencer

is duly elected Member of Parliament

for the Gorton and Denton constituency.

In the end, Reform comes second to the Green Party.

REPORTER: A victory for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, Reform second.

Weeks later, in the campaign for May's local elections,

Reform has councils across the country in its sights.

It's a chance to turn its lead in the polls into real power.

One of the key battlegrounds is Portsmouth.

CLAMOURING

In the run-up to the polls,

the area has seen repeated anti-immigration rallies,

attended by those on the far right.

We secretly film at one.

Speaking at the rally and helping to control the crowd

are leaders of a local anti-immigration group

called the Portsmouth Patriots.

This footage of a Portsmouth Patriots protest

outside a migrant hotel sparked outrage in the city last year.

We'd heard claims about close links between the Portsmouth Patriots

and local Reform politicians.

We gain access to the Patriots' private group on Facebook

and find it's littered with extreme racist

and anti-migrant content.

It also reveals that four Reform politicians in Portsmouth

are members of the private group.

One is prospective Reform councillor Phil Carpenter.

Filming undercover, we join him on the campaign trail.

Must be the way in.

Last year, Carpenter reposted this video

on the Portsmouth Patriots Facebook group.

It shows a member of the group getting into a local hotel

for asylum seekers.

You're a cunt, mush. Yeah. Fuck you, cunt.

Fucking go back to where you come from - Somalia or wherever.

We also find this footage on the private site,

which shows Carpenter at a Patriot protest

outside the hotel last year.

Our undercover reporters ask what he was doing there.

Also out campaigning, we meet Reform councillor Ray Dent.

He tells our reporters what he thinks of the Portsmouth Patriots.

Though some Reform politicians are wary

of being publicly associated with the Portsmouth Patriots,

we want to see whether the party's links to them go further still.

links to them go further still.

Though some Reform politicians are wary

of being publicly associated with the Portsmouth Patriots,

we want to see whether the party's links to them go further still.

This is Portsmouth city councillor George Madgwick.

This is Portsmouth city councillor George Madgwick.

He's Reform's regional campaign manager

for South East England and oversees the party's operation here.

He's running for a seat

on Hampshire County Council in this election.

He's also a member of the Patriots' private Facebook group

when our reporter joins it.

The Facebook site reveals that Councillor Madgwick

has supported the Portsmouth Patriots

and promoted one of their rallies. He's also given them money.

He's posted on the site encouraging them to join and donate to Reform.

We ask him about the links.

Councillor Madgwick seems comfortable working

with the Portsmouth Patriots,

despite how they're seen by some of his colleagues

and the extreme content we found on their Facebook group

during our investigation.

REPORTER: Somewhat of a day here in Havant,

as the seats for the county council

and borough elections have been announced.

Now, Reform UK got six of the county council seats...

Phil Carpenter comes second

and is not elected to Portsmouth City Council.

But Councillor Madgwick wins his seat

and is now the leader of the Reform group

on Hampshire County Council.

We're live on the scene here in Portsmouth in Eastney,

and I'm with BLEEP, a local resident in the area.

Since the election, he's been championing protests

against migrant boats attended by the Portsmouth Patriots and others.

He's been sharing protesters' footage.

Here we are down in Gosport, so the invasion is happening.

Look at all these emergency services complicit in the invasion.

And his warnings about the arrival of migrant boats are shared

on Portsmouth Patriots' Facebook page.

Send them back! They're fucking traitors!

He has told people to withdraw support and funding from the RNLI

while they continue to rescue migrants.

140 miles away in the Midlands,

Reform is also fighting hard to win as many seats as it can

in the local elections.

REPORTER: Old alliances are fracturing in what could be

the most consequential local elections in years.

We're back on the campaign trail...

..with Reform councillor Alan Feeney...

..who we met earlier in Gorton and Denton.

Now he's defending his seat on Solihull Council...

..and contesting a second ward in Birmingham.

Feeney has made local planning and housing

a key part of his campaign.

DOOR BELL RINGS

DOOR BELL RINGS

During the day, Feeney repeatedly returns to the subject of Muslims.

One resident says some think Councillor Feeney

and Reform are targeting Asian homeowners and developers.

The following day, it's made clear to another undercover reporter

to another undercover reporter

that Councillor Feeney wasn't being honest.

During earlier campaigning in Solihull,

Feeney had expressed his fears

about an Islamic revolution in Britain.

He says that white British people

are now a minority in some areas and sets out his solution.

During a break in canvassing,

Feeney meets up with another Reform local election candidate,

Jamie Campbell.

The topic of conversation remains the same.

REPORTER: Votes cast in these elections

in these elections

could signal centuries-old two-party dominances faltering.

From north to south, east to west,

we could be seeing a seismic shift in British politics.

At a cafe, Alan Feeney and Jamie Campbell are joined

by another election candidate, Chris Whelan.

Once again, they're talking about Muslims.

The conversation turns to one

of Reform's female election candidates in Solihull.

At the end of the day,

our undercover reporter joins Feeney,

Whelan and Campbell in a local pub.

Chris Whelan is unhappy that some

of the offensive comments he makes online get removed.

The conversation moves on to another female Reform candidate,

this time from Birmingham.

REPORTER: The jubilation was measured in teal rosettes,

as Reform surged and punched their way to victory.

Reform wins almost 1,500 seats in the local elections,

marking a watershed moment for the party.

Since we made that breakthrough in the general election,

we have professionalised the party.

Alan Feeney wins both his seats

and is appointed deputy leader of Reform

on Solihull Borough Council.

Chris Whelan and Jamie Campbell are also both elected.

Feeney and Campbell say they hope to stand as MPs

at the next general election.

NARRATOR: In Southampton,

violent protests follow the release of police footage

of the tragic killing of student Henry Novak by a Sikh man.

HENRY NOVAK:

POLICE OFFICER: You've been stabbed? Whereabouts?

I don't think you have, mate.

It shows the dying student being arrested and handcuffed

after he was falsely accused of a racist attack.

Hours before the violence, Nigel Farage had made a speech

that was criticised for sowing division.

We're living in a two-tier culture in this country.

Where the rights and privileges of white people matter less

than those of ethnic minorities.

I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure cold rage.

Enough of anti-white prejudice.

White lives matter just as much as Black lives.

A country that treats everybody equally and fairly before the law.

This is serious. This is urgent.

Against this febrile backdrop, another election campaign.

REPORTER: For the next few weeks, politics is going to revolve

around the constituency of Makerfield.

REPORTER 2: Makerfield now the unlikely centre

of British politics, a by-election far bigger than just this place.

The by-election in Makerfield is being billed

as one of the most consequential in modern British politics.

REPORTER: British politics is in flux,

and no-one knows where the pieces will settle.

Reform's candidate is Rob Kenyon - a local councillor and plumber.

Can he win? ALL: Yes!

One, two, three, testing.

He's up against Andy Burnham.

REPORTER: The big campaign launch

for a mayor making a move for Number 10.

The Labour Mayor of Manchester, who hopes getting elected here

will help propel him to Downing Street.

Reform faces new pressure from a party further to its right -

Restore Britain, led by Rupert Lowe, whose support has been rising.

Once again, Reform mobilises MPs,

councillors and supporters from across the country

to help with the campaign.

Out canvassing, we meet a party activist

and former candidate called Alex Lomas.

His story raises further questions about how seriously

Reform takes vetting of those who want to stand for election.

He says he's failed vetting twice because of his social media posts.

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson is banned from joining Reform.

And in the past,

the party's suspended councillors who've shown support for him online.

But Lomas says that after he failed vetting,

something unexpected happened.

Lomas ran for election as a councillor in Oldham

and almost won, coming second by just 200 votes.

He says he intends to stand as a Reform candidate again next year.

Our reporter then meets Dean Miller,

a Reform councillor for Bromley, South London.

He was elected in May and has come to Makerfield

to help with the campaign.

Councillor Miller says what he would do

to illegal migrants arriving from France.

It's the last day of canvassing in Makerfield before polling day.

Our undercover reporter meets three more Reform councillors

here to help with the final push for votes.

Conrad Brown is an elected Reform councillor in Hounslow.

So is Adam Parkins.

Together, they explain

how candidates can get around Reform's vetting checks.

At a pub showing World Cup football,

we speak to another Reform councillor from Hounslow.

David Kerr also stood as a Reform MP in 2024,

pictured here with Reform's Deputy Leader, Richard Tice.

He explains how he'd reverse immigration.

Councillor Adam Parkins asks the reporter

asks the reporter

if there's a Pakistani problem in his area

and then discusses child rape gangs.

The councillors go on to talk about Restore -

the party competing with Reform for voters on the right.

All of these men are elected Reform councillors

who have passed party vetting.

Right, everyone. My name is Ray, and I'm team leader for today.

That rhymes, that, dunnit? LAUGHTER

The following day, we join another canvassing team

led by Raymond Dunning.

He's a Reform councillor in Tameside, Greater Manchester.

Later in the pub,

Councillor Dunning sits down with the canvassing team.

He tells them the party has asked him to stand as an MP

and explains how Reform can appeal to Restore voters.

Later that day, the group moves to another pub

with party member Ian Nilsson-Forrest.

He stood but lost as a Reform councillor in May's local election.

A Reform councillor, who aspires to be an MP,

and wants to shoot politicians against a wall.

WOMAN: Burnham, Andrew Murray, commonly known as Andy Burnham,

the Labour and Co-operative Party, 24,927.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And I do hereby declare that Andy Burnham is duly elected.

Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For Reform, second place in Makerfield is a setback.

But the party's still seeking candidates.

After volunteering there,

something unexpected happens to our undercover reporter.

He's asked to consider standing as a Reform councillor.

He meets Ian Frost,

chair of the local Reform branch in the area he claims to be from,

Chester, for an initial vetting interview.

We want to test how far potential red flags,

such as public support for Tommy Robinson

and clear anti-Muslim prejudice will raise questions.

Our reporter expresses clear hatred of Muslims

of Muslims

to test if it would stop him from being a candidate.

Later, Frost contacts our reporter

to ask if he's tidied up his social media accounts...

and to see if he still wants to stand.

Our reporter declines the invitation.

NIGEL FARAGE: Today, I will resign as a Member of Parliament

for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election.

Another high-profile by-election is called,

this time, in Nigel Farage's own constituency, Clacton.

Reform's leader triggered the election

after a parliamentary watchdog

began investigating a £5 million gift

from a cryptocurrency billionaire he did not declare.

He says he didn't need to.

On the night the votes are counted,

our undercover reporter attends a celebration thrown by Reform

to thank party activists.

It's called Farage Fest.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

And parts of it are live streamed

to Reform supporters across the country.

I called this by-election

because I wanted the people of Clacton,

the voters of this constituency,

to be my judge, not the mainstream media in Britain.

With no other major party standing, the result is hardly a surprise.

And the verdict is in.

And it is a convincing, overwhelming win with more votes.

CHEERING

Farage uses his victory speech to attack what he describes as

"a growing intolerance on the left".

An intolerance that has now swept through

the entire left wing politics of Britain

and is... and is aided, abetted and incited every single day

by broadcasters and national newspapers.

In the crowd is Dean Miller, the Reform councillor from Bromley

we secretly filmed in Makerfield making racist and violent comments.

This is party activist Jason Powell.

This is party activist Jason Powell.

He came to Clacton to help with canvassing for Nigel Farage

and wants to stand as a Reform MP in the next general election.

Though he said he passed vetting,

Powell recently told us he hadn't been selected to run as an MP.

But he said there was a possibility of retrying.

After secretly filming inside Reform for a year,

politicians and officials across the party have been caught

on camera expressing views that many will find offensive,

racist and sexist.

Some have made threats of violence.

Many of them talk about concealing their real views

until Reform is in power.

Our evidence suggests Nigel Farage has broken his promise

to clean up his party,

that Reform's vetting is ineffective, and worse,

that, in some cases, rather than ousting the bigots and extremists,

senior figures in the party, including Nigel Farage himself,

are either turning a blind eye or protecting them.
