“A Lot Of EXTRAORDINARY Coincidences” Reform UK Calls For Election Watchdog To Investigate Channel 4

Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by deputy leader of Reform UK, Ben Habib, as the General Election campaign enters its final week.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has reported Channel 4 to the elections watchdog, claiming the broadcaster used an actor as a “plant” in its undercover investigation into his campaign.

The broadcaster has denied that Andrew Parker, who was filmed using a racial slur to describe Rishi Sunak, was paid by or known to Channel 4 News before the expose on Mr Farage’s General Election campaign in the constituency of Clacton.

But Reform, in a letter to the Electoral Commission, said it was “wholly unbelievable” for it to be a coincidence and Channel 4’s piece “cannot be described as anything short of election interference”.

Ben says: “You don’t tip up on someone’s doorstep, who you’ve never met before, and spout off the kind of offensive rubbish that man was speaking!”
