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.

Nigel Farage can’t shrug these latest revelations off as being a few bad apples.

Kemi Badenoch is the latest in a long line of failed Tory leaders who are determined to see workers made worse off.
