Reform UK says it has improved and prioritised its procedures for vetting candidates after undercover filming prompted questions about the party’s approach to candidate selection.
The party’s response focuses on the processes used to assess people seeking to stand for Reform UK. However, the supplied material does not provide details of the filming, identify those involved or set out the specific concerns raised.
Reform UK has not provided further details in the available statement about the changes made to its vetting arrangements. The latest position is that the party says candidate checks have been given greater priority as questions remain over how its procedures operate.
