Reform UK Faces Commons Rules Breach Over £300 Parliament Tours
Nigel Farage's party offers paid tours, prompting refunds and scrutiny over adherence to parliamentary regulations.
- Reform UK's offer of paid tours of Parliament for £300 is seen as a breach of House of Commons rules, which prohibit using parliamentary access for financial gain.
- The party claims the fundraising initiative was an error by a volunteer regional organiser, and refunds are being issued to ticket holders.
- Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, is aiming to formalize its political structure and increase credibility following July's election where it secured five MPs.
- Critics point out the inconsistency in Reform UK's stance, having previously criticized other parties for similar actions.
- The party's membership is reportedly growing, but it faces challenges in establishing a serious political presence and overcoming past controversies.
