About this analysis

HuffPost UK reports that Reform UK's general secretary, Tom Waterhouse, has left, and sets his departure against the party's vetting failures, the Madgwick charges and the internal probe into Farage's aides. It attributes the claim of leadership irritation to the Daily Mail, reports the party spokesperson's account that he was told to resign or be sacked, and notes that the police investigation into Orr and Jukes is still ongoing. We found no problem with these passages that we could stand behind.

What it gets right

  • “even though a police investigation is still ongoing”

    It does not let the party's internal clearance of Orr and Jukes stand alone, and reports that the police investigation has not concluded.

  • “The Daily Mail claimed Reform chiefs had becoming increasingly irritated”

    It attributes the account of the leadership's irritation to the paper that reported it, rather than stating it as its own fact.

  • “Waterhouse was told to either resign or be sacked”

    It reports the party's own admission that the departure was forced.
