Reform UK has denied claims of Nigel Farage breaking electoral law.<\/p>\n

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

The claims relate to Mr Farage’s campaign in Clacton-on-Sea, the seat he won for Reform UK<\/a><\/strong> in the 2024 General Election.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph<\/a><\/strong>, the claims have been made by Richard Everett, a former Reform councillor.<\/p>\n

It is reported by the Telegraph that Mr Everett has submitted documents to the Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n

Mr Everett was one of four councillors who defected from the Conservatives to Reform UK on the eve of the 2024 General Election campaign.<\/p>\n

Sky News has not verified the allegations and the Metropolitan Police and the Electoral Commission are yet to comment.<\/p>\n

Both Labour and the Conservatives have called for answers from Mr Farage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reform UK has denied claims of Nigel Farage breaking electoral law.
