Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, filed a complaint against Channel 4 for 'electoral interference' after footage showed a party volunteer making racist remarks and suggesting violence. The party claimed the volunteer was an actor planted by Channel 4 to harm them during an election period. Channel 4 denied paying the volunteer and defended its journalism. Farage distanced himself from the volunteer and accused Channel 4 of interference, leading to formal complaints to the Electoral Commission and Essex Police. The incident has sparked a dispute with the BBC and plans for an Ofcom investigation.
