Reform UK has been fined more than £2,000 for failing to declare it was the publisher of campaign material seen by voters – including an additional penalty for failing to pay on time.

Nigel Farage’s party was sanctioned by the Electoral Commission after four items of election material were missing an “imprint” – a declaration of the publisher so voters know who has paid for the promotional message.
