英国改革党（Reform UK）领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）的一名安保人员瑞安·丁纳奇（Ryan Dinnage）被查出曾在2022年犯下强奸罪 1。丁纳奇因在皇家温莎马展上强奸一名正在露营车睡觉的女性，于2025年被判处8年半监禁 1。尽管面临强奸指控，丁纳奇仍在起诉前于4月和5月陪同法拉奇参加至少四次地方选举拉票活动 1。
针对此事，改革党发言人表示：“一旦我们发现，我们感到震惊和厌恶，他随即停止为改革党服务。” 1 该党称丁纳奇由第三方承包商提供且已保证经过审查 1。然而，此事引发了公众对政治人物安保背景审查机制失效的质疑，工党及反对派要求法拉奇对此作出解释并整顿内部纪律 1。此前，法拉奇拒绝政府提供的纳税人资助的安全保障，声称接受了来自加密货币亿万富翁 Christopher Harborne 的500万英镑捐款用于终身安保 1。类似地，保守党也因雇佣曾被卧底记者拍到讨论雇佣杀手费用的前候选人 Jack Ross 而受到审查失败的批评 1。
Ryan Dinnage, a security guard who accompanied Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during local election campaigning, has been sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for rape committed in 2022 1. The conviction stems from an incident at the Royal Windsor Horse Show where Dinnage sexually assaulted a woman who was sleeping in her camper van 1. Although Dinnage was charged with rape in 2025, he continued to provide security services for Farage during at least four local election rally events in April and May, prior to the formal charging process 1.
Reform UK stated that Dinnage was supplied by a third-party contractor and assured that all personnel undergo vetting procedures 1. A party spokesperson said they were "shocked and disgusted" upon discovering the charges, noting that Dinnage immediately ceased working for the party once this information came to light 1. This revelation has triggered public scrutiny over the effectiveness of background checks for political protectors, with opposition figures demanding explanations from Farage regarding internal discipline protocols 1.
The controversy adds to ongoing questions about Farage’s security arrangements, which he previously declined in favor of taxpayer-funded protection offered by the government 1. Instead, Farage accepted a £5 million donation from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne to finance his lifetime security costs 1. Reform UK is not the only party facing criticism for vetting failures; the Conservative Party has similarly been scrutinized after employing Jack Ross, a former candidate caught on undercover recordings discussing fees for hiring assassins 1.
