英国改革党因电视台卧底调查曝光而陷入危机。1ITV进行了为期一年的调查，记录改革党议员和候选人发表的种族歧视、极端暴力威胁及厌女言论。1调查内容包括改革党伦敦总部的录像，将于10月18日晚10:20在ITV1播出。1
至少三名议员已因此辞职，其中克里斯·韦兰于10月12日因"个人和健康原因"辞职。1被曝光的不当言论包括，议员艾伦·菲尼称亚洲房主为"寄生虫"，并声称"不超过1%的英国人口可以是非白人"。1党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇取消了原定于周四的重大发布会以应对危机。1
改革党表示正在进行调查，但同时指责ITV采用欺骗手段进行卧底报道，包括伪造身份证件和虚假凭证。1法拉奇此前承诺过去两年要清除党内的"极端分子"和"仇恨者"。1
Reform UK has been engulfed in scandal following a year-long undercover investigation by ITV that exposed multiple councillors and candidates making racist, violently extreme, and misogynistic statements.1 The revelations have prompted at least three party officials to resign, and party leader Nigel Farage cancelled a major scheduled press conference for Thursday to address the crisis.1
The investigation, conducted at Reform UK's London headquarters and other locations including Solihull, Birmingham, and Bromley, captured party members expressing deeply offensive views.1 Among those exposed, councillor Alan Finney referred to Asian homeowners as "parasites" and claimed that "no more than 1% of the British population can be non-white."1 Chris Whelan, identified as one of those stepping down, cited "personal and health reasons" for his resignation on October 12.1 The undercover footage is scheduled to air on ITV1 on October 18 at 10:20 p.m.1
Party leadership has disputed the investigation's methods, alleging that ITV employed deceptive tactics including fabricated identity documents and false credentials.1 Meanwhile, Farage has previously pledged to remove "extremists" and "hate-mongers" from the party over the past two years, a commitment now overshadowed by the scale of the current scandal.1
