Watchdog urged to investigate Reform’s ‘data harvesting’ energy bills competition

The information watchdog has been urged to investigate a Reform UK competition under which the party has pledged to pay a street’s energy bills for a year.

The demand by digital campaigners, Open Rights Group, came as a Labour minister lashed out at Reform’s “publicity stunts”, claiming that “Nigel Farage is just trying to get attention and backlash with publicity stunts, based on algorithms.”
