Throughout the general election campaign 大象传媒 News will feature representatives from political parties from across the UK, and across the political spectrum, in line with the 大象传媒 Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Code to ensure that we are giving political parties appropriate coverage.聽 In this context we have heard from Nigel Farage, initially in his capacity as honorary President of Reform UK, and now as leader of the party and a candidate.

The Brexit Party, as Reform UK were previously named, stood in the 2019 general election, and were the most successful of the UK political parties at the European Parliament elections in 2019. Reform UK are currently polling at around 11%, and should this translate to how votes are cast in the general election, could have a significant impact on the result.

We have made clear that Mr Farage has never been an MP.聽 However, Mr Farage has been a prominent figure in British politics for many years, having been an influential campaigner for Brexit, leader of UKIP, Reform UK and the Brexit Party.聽 Mr Farage was also an MEP for 20 years.聽

We will apply the same scrutiny to Mr Farage and the polices advocated by Reform UK that we will other political leaders and their parties. 聽聽We will include a balance of representatives from political parties in our coverage, not just candidates for the House of Commons.
