Summary
Byline Times reports that Reform UK has repeatedly refused to explain why its leader Nigel Farage met and posed for a photograph with far-right activists, including a man who was criminally convicted for violently storming an anti-racism meeting at a church. The attack occurred two weeks before the photo was taken in mid-December 2024. Despite a year-and-a-half of inquiries, the party has provided no explanation, casting doubt on Farage's claim that he refuses to associate with extreme elements of the populist right.
