An undercover investigation by ITV uncovered a series of extremist remarks made by members of Reform UK, a political party active across the United Kingdom. The investigative team spent an extended period embedded with Reform politicians, gathering footage that reveals candidates and councillors expressing racist, sexist, and violent opinions.
Among the recorded statements were calls for violence against political figures, including one individual advocating for the beheading of the King and another suggesting that politicians should be executed by shooting. Other comments included demands for the deportation of non-white individuals. Overall, the footage depicts approximately ninety minutes of rhetoric described as fearmongering and marked by animosity.
The undercover operation aimed to provide an inside look at the attitudes circulating within Reform UK and has raised questions about the party’s internal culture. Reform UK’s response to the allegations was not immediately available.
The broadcast of these findings, scheduled on ITV1 at 10:20 p.m., is expected to prompt further scrutiny of Reform UK’s candidates and elected officials, especially given the serious nature of the statements recorded. The investigation highlights ongoing concerns about extremist elements within political parties and the potential impact on public discourse in the UK.
