Reform UK members caught making offensive remarks in upcoming ITV documentary

Secretly recorded footage from an upcoming ITV documentary titled 'Undercover: A Year In Reform' has exposed several members and elected local officials of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party making racist, sexist, and violent comments. The documentary, scheduled for broadcast on October 18, 2026, features clips captured by undercover journalists during the party’s past electoral campaigns.

In the released excerpts, one candidate, who was subsequently elected to a local position, is recorded referring to Asian property owners as 'parasites' and expressing anti-Muslim sentiments. Another candidate is seen discussing plans to bury pork chops in the ground to prevent the construction of a mosque. These revelations add to recent political pressure on the party, which has experienced a decline in polling numbers following controversies surrounding its funding. Simultaneously, the Labour Party has seen a boost in popularity under its new leader, Andy Burnham.

This incident highlights significant internal challenges for Reform UK as the party deals with the implications of the documentary's findings. The full program is expected to provide further insights into the conduct of party affiliates during their interactions with the public and media representatives throughout the year.
