ITV said it "stands by its journalism" and the Reform programme was "produced in compliance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, relevant laws, and its broadcast is in the public interest... "Should the police get in touch we would fully cooperate.”
Reform UK said it has reported ITV to the police following the broadcaster’s expose which revealed racist remarks by members of the party The allegations involve an undercover reporter "doctoring" a passport and others canvassing for Reform in Portsmouth

Today a teenage boy obsessed with serial killers was found guilty of attempted murder after he stabbed a girl at his school. His parents told me how their "shy lad" was corrupted by hateful, violent online content. @itvanglia @Jess4Lowestoft itv.com/news/anglia/2026-10-…

"We still can’t believe he was in that dark place & the algorithms obviously kept feeding him more of the same. Much of the stuff that influenced our son in such a harmful, insidious way was readily available & much of it is mainstream entertainment that a child can easily see."

"We really need to think about that and ask some big questions about the online world. "It’s like the Wild West; it’s out of control."

Warning: Distressing and graphic language An undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has found multiple elected councillors and party candidates expressing racist views and using offensive language. ITV has obtained secretly recorded footage showing Reform officials from across England and Wales using violent, racist and sexist language. Councillors Alan Feeney, Chris Whelan and Jamie Campbell did not reply to our request for comment. Councillors Feeney and Whelan have since resigned from Reform UK. In a statement shared with ITV News, Reform UK said: "Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed." "Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations."

A great piece from @RobSetchell @itvanglia on the NFU's calls for homegrown food targets and interest free loans as a report reveals Britain is producing less food than 30 years ago. NFU Norfolk Council Rep Nick Deane and Norfolk member Louis Baugh make the case. @NFUPress

Brilliant to see @RSPBMinsmere reopen today - but brutal to witness the decimation of Dunwich Heath. £600k now raised for its recovery, which could take 25 years. We'll have the latest on @itvanglia.

Of all the half time shows at major sporting events this weekend, Steeler the dog's victory in the T20 Mascot Derby has been - by some distance - the most entertaining. @NorthantsCCC #EspañaVsArgentina
The content you have all been waiting for... The 2026 Mascot Derby! 😂 (And yes, we've included Daggers falling over 😉)

Outrageous day watching @NorthantsCCC win the T20. David Willey's boundary relay the best catch I've ever seen live - and what a finish. Shoe Army! 👞👞👞

Nervous about tonight. One more win and we’re nearly there. So much pressure and expectation. And think of the mockery if we lose. Northamptonshire simply have to beat Gloucestershire in the Vitality Blast T20 quarter-final at Wantage Road.

He's always written his own scripts. Amazing scenes at Trent Bridge watching this lionheart serve up his final acts of cricketing theatre. What a player.
One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match. Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for. We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️ England will never be the same again.
