STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇

Pretty good just now in Lisbon, I have to say. About 10 minute wait inbound no wait outbound, kiosks and gates worked well at both. Simple easy to use and plenty of facilitators to help. That’s the way to do it! @border_mgmt

Capturing biometrics for passengers in vehicles was always going to be hard. We believe there are technologies out there to help - and will continue to explore through our @border_mgmt channels. #biometrics #futureborders #ibmata

EES preparations continue to take shape at Dover - but there will no new biometric checks for car passengers from tomorrow as the French tech still isn’t ready.

The UK Together rally in London today is being sold as a march of love, unity, and hope - against racism and the far-right.
But a quick look at who’s backing it reveals a very different story. 🧵

New EU biometric border checks due to be introduced at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel next month have been delayed again. The French authorities are having ongoing technical issues with what's called the Entry Exit system.
