Reform UK fined for failing to pay fine for elections rule breach

Party had been sanctioned by Electoral Commission after failing to declare it was the publisher of campaign material

Reform UK has been fined more than £2,000 for failing to declare it was the publisher of campaign material seen by voters – including an additional penalty for failing to pay on time.

Nigel Farage’s party was sanctioned by the Electoral Commission after four items of elections material were missing an “imprint” – a declaration of the publisher so voters know who has paid for the promotional message.
