Bridget Phillipson: “In light of these allegations, I would urge the commission to investigate:”

It’s clear that Farage and his party are determined to poison our politics and threaten the shared British values Labour will always proudly defend.

You can find more whitewash in this report than at your local B&Q. Nothing in it exonerates Reform or Nigel Farage from the serious allegations that they still face. They can’t run from the truth forever.

We have asked local Green groups to respond as a matter of urgency. Where they are unable to provide that assurance, Labour will bring any such local arrangement to an end.

This isn’t an issue of party politics; it’s about doing what is right, and upholding the values anyone holding public office should share.
