Summary
Labour Party chair Anna Turley has given Nigel Farage a 24-hour ultimatum to report his claim of a Russia-linked phone hack to security services, or Labour will do it for him. The demand comes after Farage alleged in a Sunday newspaper that his phone was hacked by foreign state actors. A Reform UK spokesperson stated the incident was reported to 'relevant authorities' without specifying which ones. Scepticism surrounds Farage's claim, and Turley insists a proper investigation is in the public and national interest.
